Discitis linked to Pott's spine is an infrequent yet severe issue, especially difficult to manage among elderly individuals due to age-related bodily changes and concurrent health issues. This report details the successful physiotherapy-based recovery of a senior patient afflicted with discitis related to Pott's spine. The individual, a 61-year-old man, presented symptoms including intense back pain, restricted movement, and neurological issues. The diagnosis was confirmed via imaging scans, indicating spinal tuberculosis and vertebral disc involvement. Treatment embraced a comprehensive approach involving medication alongside physiotherapy. The physiotherapeutic regimen aimed at pain alleviation, enhancing spinal flexibility, strengthening weakened muscles, and promoting functional autonomy. Techniques such as manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education were employed. Despite the challenges posed by the patient's age and existing conditions, significant enhancements in pain management, mobility, and everyday functioning were noted during the rehabilitation journey. This case underscores the significance of prompt diagnosis, collaborative care, and personalized physiotherapeutic interventions in attaining positive outcomes for elderly patients grappling with discitis associated with Pott's spine. Further investigation is needed to delineate optimal rehabilitation approaches for this intricate condition among the elderly.
与波特氏脊柱病相关的椎间盘炎是一个罕见但严重的问题,由于与年龄相关的身体变化和并发的健康问题,在老年人中尤其难以处理。本报告详细介绍了一名患有与波特氏脊柱病相关的椎间盘炎的老年患者通过物理治疗成功康复的案例。该患者为一名61岁男性,出现了包括剧烈背痛、活动受限和神经问题等症状。通过影像学扫描确诊,显示为脊柱结核并累及椎间盘。治疗采用了包括药物治疗和物理治疗在内的综合方法。物理治疗方案旨在减轻疼痛、增强脊柱灵活性、增强虚弱的肌肉并促进功能自主。采用了手动治疗、针对性锻炼和患者教育等技术。尽管患者的年龄和现有状况带来了挑战,但在康复过程中,疼痛管理、活动能力和日常功能方面都有了显著改善。该病例强调了及时诊断、协作护理和个性化物理治疗干预对于患有与波特氏脊柱病相关的椎间盘炎的老年患者取得积极结果的重要性。需要进一步研究以确定针对老年人这种复杂病症的最佳康复方法。
