Low back pain is the single bigg est contributor to intractable disability worldwide\, and the single large st cause of non-cancer opioid \;prescribing in the US. Results from an NIH/NIDA Help End Addiction Longterm project comparing \; mechanica l vs. electrical noninvasive stimulation devices were published last year.  \;Compared to electric stimulation\, multiple frequencies of mechanic al stimulation significantly reduced opioid use\, prescribing\, acute prog ression to chronic low back pain. \;Based on these results and a recen tly submitted secondary analysis of responder characteristics\, the most l ikely hypothesis is that different frequencies are having a greater effect on early muscular transition to chronic pain than central sensitization o r self-efficacy. This talk will briefly cover the implications of the LB P treatment trajectory in the US\, from spine surgery to spinal cord stimu lation to a biopsychosocial model and recent research on the neurostimulat ion restoration of muscles. \; The underpinning physiology of mechanic al stimulation frequencies for indirect and direct effects on fascia to pr event chronic pain will be emphasized.
