Can someone tell me what somatic dysfunction lumbar is.?!
Question: When I went to the doctor about my lower back pain this is what the doc said is wrong with it. I can't find much information about what it is and how to treat it. My doctor wanted me to go to a physical therapist but I don't have insurance so it would cost to much for me go to one. I need to know if there is any exercises that I can do on my own to help relieve the pain? Thanks.

First, "PSYCHOsomatic disorder" means it's all in your head, not "somatic dysfunction." "Somatic dysfunction" is a very generic, non-specific term that simply means that there is a dysfunction (abnormal tissue usually of musculoskeletal type) of the body (to which the term somatic refers to). Therefore, lumbar somatic dysfunction simply means abnormal back tissue.
Since you do not have a real diagnosis, one cannot give you any specific exercises without first examining you. I agree with the above post, that at least one visit would be beneficial to at least get an assessment as to what might be appropriate for you.
somatic lumbar dysfunction, means your back pain is all in your head, no physical reason for the pain.
swim to make your back stronger. but what you just descirbed sounds like that somatic cells are sending random pain messages to your lumbar region. this could mean that your tough out of luck because theirs not much you can do about ghost pains.
It means that a vertebrae in your lower back is rotated and bent sideways. I wouldn't recommend exercises. If I were you, I would go to a physical therapist once. Explain to them that you can't afford to come back because of lack of insurance and need some exercises you can do at home. If you don't wan tto try that, explain to your Dr that you can't afford physical therapy and can he give you some exercises to do at home. He may be able to prescribe something for you to do.
BONE IN YOUR SPINE OR RIB BS THAT IS OUT OF PLACE.
Go to a Chiropractor,as they don't charge much
and do all the same as rehab.
somatic dysfunction means they cannot find a physical reason why your are having pain and difficulty. But it depends upon what tests they have run on you. did they do a cat scan or an MRI? Did the doctor you went to have you lay down on your back and then lift you legs straight up? Did he have you bend over and touch the floor? These little tests will all indicate if you have a problem. If you did not see an orthopaedic doctor, I would highly recommend you be seen in consult. Then as Kathleen said a one time visit to a physical therapist who should be able to give you a list of exercises that will help strengthen your back muscles and decrease the pain. In the mean time try applying ice or heat to the area, some times this can help. If you use either, remember to put a shield between your skin and the application of either ice or heat to protect your skin. Good luck as I know from experience it is no fun to have that kind of pain.
