Back Pain in Kids, Spondys, Spondylolysis & Stress Fractures With Angela Jackson

Angela Jackson, specialist paediatric muscular skeletal physiotherapist joins the podcast again to talk about all things spondy
Spondylolysis is one of the most common back pain injuries seen in child athletes and although common it's vitally important that these injuries are picked up and The Back Pain Podcast is helping to raise awareness with Angela explaining how a stress fracture is very different to a full fracture and how they can be picked up along with the actions that need to be taken 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Lower back pain in a young athlete is an inconvenience that needs sorting out but the majority go back to sport without any problems 
• These injuries don’t occur in the non-athlete population. Whatever level it’s at, it needs checking
• If you have an experienced clinician they should be able to manage it without imaging 
• A graduated return to activities is what’s required, we want to have an adult athlete who can withstand the demands of adult sport
• We need to help them to see good credible role models who have come back from this injury 
• Working in phases helps young people see what the journey is back to health 
• It’s about getting them back into sport layer by layer, making them stronger and educating them

BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s not that kids are doing too much, it’s that they are doing too much too soon’
‘We only get this opportunity to make you stronger once’
‘Find a hero in their sport that you know has come back from this injury, loads of people have gone through this’
