Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Recurrent or atypical back strains necessitate comprehensive evaluation.
  • Skeletal anomalies can predispose athletes to complex musculoskeletal issues.
  • Understanding biomechanical principles is crucial for effective treatment.

Observation:

  • An athlete presented with recurrent back strains.
  • The athlete had rare underlying skeletal anomalies.
  • Cervical rib anomalies were identified as a potential contributing factor.

Findings:

  • A multimodal, noninvasive treatment approach integrating biomechanical principles yielded successful outcomes.
  • The treatment successfully resolved the athlete's symptoms and improved function.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering underlying anomalies in persistent back pain.

Implications:

  • Noninvasive, biomechanically-guided treatments can be effective for athletes with rare skeletal anomalies.
  • Cervical rib anomalies warrant consideration in athletes with thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms.
  • Further investigation is recommended for athletes with recurrent or atypical back strains.
