A lateral shift is a functional scoliosis that develops in response to a lumbar disc bulge or nerve root impingement. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
The vertebrae deviate laterally to create space and offload the compressed or irritated nerve root tissue. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
Although a lateral shift appears as a frontal-plane deviation, it involves a rotational component and affects all three planes of motion simultaneously. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
In the acute phase, the lateral shift is most likely a protective adaptation, and disrupting it prematurely risks worsening the patient's condition. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
Restoring movement variability in all three planes is a more effective and less provocative approach than shift correction for both acute and subacute presentations. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
Anti-inflammatory injections are preferred over tolerating ongoing inflammation because nerve damage that progresses can take an extremely long time to recover from, with no guarantee of recovery. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
Exercise selection for radicular patients should begin with positions that are comfortable, eliminating exercises performed in positions that provoke pain. — Glute Amnesia, Lateral Shifts, and Evidence-Based Practice
