The Special-Needs Economy
Nancy Pelosi works out on the euphemism treadmill.
"Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Democrats have dropped the word 'stimulus' from their vocabulary," the Hill reports. The news comes on the eve of President Obama's history-making speech before a joint session of Congress, in which, as Bloomberg's Al Hunt reports, the president is expected to propose a $300 billion "jobs plan" that "follows the contours of his $830 billion 2009 economic [CENSORED] package."
The Hill report adds that "the House minority leader and her caucus are still pushing an economic [CENSORED] agenda," but because the 2009 whatchamacallit was a ruinously expensive failure, "they've radically changed their rhetoric." Do the Nolabelists know about this?
"Democrats are now being careful to frame their job-creation agenda in language excluding references to any [CENSORED], even though their favored policies for ending the deepest recession since the Great Depression are largely the same," the Hill adds:
The Democrats' signature "Make it in America" platform aims to create jobs by increasing infrastructure spending, providing financial help to struggling states and expanding tax credits for businesses, all of which were key elements of their 2009 economic [CENSORED] bill.
Recognizing the unpopularity of the 2009 package, however, Democratic leaders have revised their message with less loaded language--"job creation" instead of "[CENSORED]" and "Make it in America" in lieu of "Recovery Act"--in hopes of tackling the jobs crisis.
Pelosi is working out on the "euphemism treadmill." Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker described this metaphorical fitness machine in a 1994 Baltimore Sun op-ed: "People invent new 'polite' words to refer to emotionally laden or distasteful things, but the euphemism becomes tainted by association and the new one that must be found acquires its own negative connotations. 'Water closet' becomes 'toilet' (originally a term for any body care, as in 'toilet kit'), which becomes 'bathroom,' which becomes 'rest room,' which becomes 'lavatory.' "
Another example: "Idiot," "imbecile" and "moron" are now insults, but they originated as clinical terms referring to various degrees of low intelligence. "Retarded" became the euphemism of choice until it too took on an insulting connotation. Now there's actually a website, R-word.org, whose goal is "to eliminate the demeaning use of the R-word." Meanwhile, the people to whom the R-word referred when it was a euphemism are said to have "special needs."
Maybe Pelosi and Obama could take a cue from the R-worders and start a site called S-word.org to eliminate that hurtful $830 billion word. For that matter, why doesn't Obama explain that the purpose of the $300 billion he's going to ask Congress to blow is to help the economy with its special needs? The Republicans probably wouldn't have a response to that!
Oh wait. "Republicans have decided they're not going to give a rebuttal to President Obama's jobs speech later this week," Fox News reports, adding that Pelosi is taking the decision "as a high affront to the White House":
Pelosi said the party's "silence" would "speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs."
"The Republicans' refusal to respond to the president's proposal on jobs is not only disrespectful to him, but to the American people," Pelosi said.
It seems to us it's highly respectful to the American people. After all, the president decided for whatever reason to schedule his speech right before the opening game of the NFL season. Maybe that wouldn't be a big deal if a crummy team like the 49ers were playing, but this is the Packers vs. the Saints, the last two Super Bowl champions.
This is also the first time we've ever heard a rebuttal from the opposite party cast as a show of respect to the president. We suppose one might plausibly understand it that way, but it seems to us that Pelosi and other Obama supporters don't do the president any favors by constantly complaining about imagined slights. It makes him look as if he has some sort of special need for deference--or, to put it bluntly, as if he's weak.
Everyone's a Tax Cutter
"Until quite recently," Journolist founder Ezra Klein writes, "both parties supported the idea that you combat bad economies with stimulus spending. Now, during an extremely bad economy, the Republican Party has completely abandoned that position." Why? Because Republicans are a little crazy (or perhaps we should say "troubled"): "Don't ask a pundit, or a politician, or a pollster. Ask a psychologist."
But wait. Before we ask anyone to explain what ails Republicans, we'd like to ask Klein to explain his diagnosis. What gives him the idea that Republicans used to favor "stimulus spending"? Conveniently enough, he has an answer:
In 2001, Grover Norquist called a national sales-tax holiday "exactly the kind of immediate stimulus our shell-shocked economy needs now." Norquist went on to quote George W. Bush's chief economist, Glenn Hubbard, saying we needed stimulus "sooner rather than later." Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) introduced a bill to that effect.
Around the same time, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) held a hearing in which he invited Kevin Hassett, a conservative economist based at the American Enterprise Institute, to make the case for a fiscal stimulus. "The economists who studied this were quite surprised to find that fiscal policy in recessions was reasonably effective," Hassett testified. "It is just that folks tried a first punch that was too light and that generally we didn't get big measures until well into the recession."
Ryan was delighted by his answer. "That is precisely my point," he replied. "That is why I like my porridge hot. I think we ought to have this income tax cut fast, deeper, retroactive to January 1st, to make sure we get a good punch into the economy, juice the economy to make sure that we can avoid a hard landing."
Now hang on a second. As Klein tells it, both Norquist and Ryan were talking about tax cuts, not spending increases. If Klein recognized the distinction, he might have been able to make a stronger case by pointing out that Norquist's proposal actually did involve the spending of federal money, in the form of payments to states to make up for forgone sales-tax revenues.
But Ryan was talking about the Bush tax cuts--you remember, the ones that liberals hate and that President Obama and the Democratic Congress extended for two years in December. To be sure, there is justice in the accusation that Bush-era Republicans were big spenders--but only to the extent that they spent large sums of money.
Meanwhile, President Obama is trying to portray himself as a tax cutter. In his Labor Day speech, he boasted that he had signed the "biggest middle-class tax cut in history." The only problem, according to Klein's colleague Glenn Kessler, is that it isn't even close to true:
Imagine our surprise when the White House responded that he wasn't talking about dollars at all.
"The point the president was making that is there is not a tax cut that has been enjoyed by such a broad section of the population," an administration official said, pointing to a report that said that 95 percent of working families received some kind of tax cut under the Making Work Pay provision in his stimulus bill.
In other words, this isn't about the size of the tax cut, but about the fact that every working family, except those making more than $190,000, received as much as $800 in tax cuts.
Kessler says in reality "John F. Kennedy seems to win the prize for biggest tax cut, at least in the last half century," and the Bush tax cuts were "more than twice as large as Obama's tax cut over the same three-year time span." And as we recall, those cuts went to 100% of taxpayers, not just 95%, so they were broader as well as bigger.
Train to Nowhere
Yesterday we noted that President Obama was holding up Detroit, a once-great industrial center that precipitously decayed in the latter half of the 20th century and has continued its decline ever since, as a model for America. An editorial in the Detroit News points to another similarity between the Motor City and Obama's America--boondoggle trains:
The rail system circles downtown Detroit and was built in 1987 on the theory that it would help fill office buildings and draw new restaurants, residents and retail outlets. It was also supposed to connect to hoped-for subway and rail lines.
But like many government projects built without regard for a return on investment, the People Mover never delivered on its promise.
Ridership never reached the 12 million annual passengers predicted before it opened, let alone the 20 million needed to break even. So the city has kicked in huge subsidies to keep if from shutting down and standing as yet another reminder of Detroit's struggles.
This year, the subsidy was $4.4 million. Ridership is 2.2 million. That means the city subsidized each ride by $2. Passenger fares bring in just $900,000.
The expense might be justifiable if the People Mover had sparked development. But many of the stations are in empty buildings, and there's no noticeable concentration of commercial activity around the rail stops.
A news story reports that the Detroit City Council "cut the People Mover's subsidy by $1 million to $3.4 million, which will trigger a reduction in state aid. [Mayor Dave] Bing could submit a budget amendment to avoid a shutdown, but Council President Charles Pugh said he's not sure whether that's the right course of action. 'That's a big problem, (but) this is not an essential service, so we can't fully fund them,' Pugh said." Meanwhile, the City Council is hard at work on another boondoggle: a $550 million "light rail" project.
Reader Jim McGovern, who lives in a Detroit suburb, describes the proposed 9.3-mile train: "9.1 miles of this route will run through one of the most dilapidated, burnt-out stretches of urban cement in the country, if not the world. Imagine the Orient Express running through Mogadishu."
He's the One
"A man accused of stealing a cellphone from a teen at a bus stop was found thanks in part to his President Barack Obama T-shirt," reports the Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller-Times:
Officers were called to a convenience store in the 4300 block of Ayers Street at 12:45 a.m. Wednesday where a 16-year-old told them he was robbed while waiting at a nearby bus stop. The teen said a thin black man between 20-25 years old with short hair and wearing a black shirt with President Obama's image, red shorts and black shoes threatened to shoot him if he did not give up his cellphone.
It's a bit of a surprise that there's a street named after Bill Ayers in Texas of all places. But think of this: Two or three years ago, there were a lot more people wearing Obama T-shirts. Now, thanks to the president's declining popularity, it's a lot easier to find the criminals.
Reliable Sources
Here's a rather astonishing report from the Associated Press in Beijing:
Chinese millionaire Su builds skyscrapers in Beijing and is one of the people powering China's economy on its path to becoming the world's biggest.
He sits at the top of a country--economy booming, influence spreading, military swelling--widely expected to dominate the 21st century.
Yet the property developer shares something surprising with many newly rich in China: he's looking forward to the day he can leave.
Su's reasons: He wants to protect his assets, he has to watch what he says in China and wants a second child, something against the law for many Chinese.
The millionaire spoke to The Associated Press on condition that only his surname was used because of fears of government reprisals that could damage his business.
China must be incredibly prosperous if there are so many skyscraper-building millionaires named Su in Beijing alone that this guy is confident of maintaining his anonymity.

Acts of Maileficence
To the list of institutions lining up for a government bailout you can add the U.S. Postal Service. "The Obama administration said on Tuesday that it would seek to save the deficit-plagued Postal Service from an embarrassing default by proposing to give it an extra three months to make a $5.5 billion payment due on Sept. 30 to finance retirees' future health coverage," the New York Times reports:
Speaking at a Senate hearing, John Berry, director of the federal Office of Personnel Management, also said the administration would soon put forward a plan to stabilize the postal service, which faces a deficit of nearly $10 billion this fiscal year and had warned that it could run out of money entirely this winter.
One senator has an idea:
Noting that some great books have been written based on letters sent by the Founding Fathers and by soldiers, Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, urged the postmaster general to run an advertising campaign urging Americans to send more letters to each other.
"There is something special about receiving a piece of first-class mail, knowing that it comes from someone you care about," she said. "I really believe that if someone would begin to market the value of sending a written letter to someone you love, you might be surprised what it will do for your Christmas season."
Hey, they could do the ad campaign on the cheap by relying on email! Another idea occurs to us: Why not save on delivery costs by putting pretty pictures on stamps and encourage people to buy and save them?
We actually used to do that, though we gave it up after a bad experience. We invited a girl back to our place to see our stamp collection but were cruelly rebuffed. She said: "Philately will get you nowhere."

New DVDs for release Sept. 10
STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (Paramount) J.J. Abrams' sequel to his successful reboot of the popular sci-fi franchise jettisoned everything that was distinctive and engaging in the 2009 movie in favor of effects, a too-familiar villain and an onslaught of insider jokes and references to past "Trek" mythology — boldly going nowhere new. With Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Karl Urban. (PG-13; violence, scenes of terrorism) ★★ »Read Full Article
'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article
Neko Case's voice shines in an elegant, melancholy set
The human voice can be the most singularly beautiful musical instrument there is, but it's not hard to think of well-compensated pop singers who treat their instruments, or allow them to be treated, as if they were beside the point.
Neko Case is not among them. »Read Full Article(1)

Power-pop band Revolush conquers 'Stagefright'
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "All the world's a stage." But rocking a stage and acting on a stage are distinctly different experiences, said Tommy Hahn, 42, who performs with Skylight Music Theatre full-time and fronts the power-pop group Revolush in his spare time.
"There's quite the gang aspect to playing in a band vs. being in a musical," Hahn said. "In a musical, someone else sells tickets, you're in a group with 12 to 20 other people sometimes, and you have other people backing this up, like the orchestra and stage manager. In Revolush, it's basically four guys against everybody." »Read Full Article
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

Pietersen set for championship action
England batsman Kevin Pietersen is set to take another step towards proving his fitness ahead of next week's first npower Test against Sri Lanka when he features for Surrey in their LV= County Championship match against Essex at Whitgift School.
Pietersen has been selected in a 12-man squad for the Division Two clash, having returned to competitive action against Cambridge MCCU last week.
The 30-year-old batsman had previously been sidelined after undergoing surgery on the hernia injury that forced him to return home early from the World Cup.
However, Pietersen has frequently spoken of his determination to attain full fitness ahead of England's international summer and appears on course to be available for the first Test in Cardiff, which gets underway on May 26.
Surrey will be without Jade Dernbach for this week's match, which begins tomorrow, after the pace bowler was selected in the England Lions squad for their game against Sri Lanka at Derby.

Is really nobody on both?
I hope not. lol I found the whole thing slightly absurd.
The Primal Leap Forum is only for Primal Leap Kit members... you need to buy the kit in order to obtain a password.
Find me at aToadontheRoad.com. Cheers!
I picked up the leap kit as I've just found the Primal Blueprint. The other forum is more specific to people transitioning to primary using the kit and there's more involvement by the authors of the kit to answer specific questions your encountering. I find this forum to have years worth of post to search throuh, which is helpful for someone new to it (like me).
I hadn't seen the chat, but I didn't look. You can send personal questions to Mark and Brad if you don't want the matter on am open forum or if you just want a very specific answer to your own question or situation. I'm finding that the out of the box approach in the kit is spot on for me, so I personally haven't needed a lot of help.
I should mention that they have a podcast section where certain questions that are posed are addressed that way.

Elizabeth Bear's forensic magic
Subterranean Press has published a new ebook collection of Elizabeth Bear's stories featuring Lady Abigail Irene Garrett, sorcerer and sometimes official investigator in Bear's 'New Amsterdam' world. The five stories in 'Garrett Investigates' span the years from 1879 to 1941 in Bear's counterfactual universe, in which American colonies stayed under British rule, though restively, and thaumaturgy has been developed as a science.
Garrett would likely have much to talk about with Jane Tennison, the British Detective Chief Inspector played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect." Both are women in authority navigating a male-dominated world, both have complicated personal lives and both could be said to drink too much. Garrett is feistier, though, and I don't think Tennison ever (1) had an affair with a prince (2) met Nikolai Tesla or (3) donated some of her blood to a hungry vampire. »Read Full Blog Post
Uneven Mumford & Sons show comes together at the finish
Before they became folk-revival rock stars, before they brought the banjo — the banjo! — to the top of the charts, Mumford & Sons became musical masters of pacing, tension and catharsis.
But it's one thing to accomplish this on sweeping singalong strummers like "The Cave" and "I Will Wait," or even across an entire album, like last year's blockbuster, album-of-the-year Grammy-winner "Babel." But sustaining spine-tingling anticipation and keeping the musical climaxes interesting, across an hour-and-forty-five-minute show is an entirely different, difficult challenge — one the band largely lived up in front of about 23,000 at a sold-out Marcus Amphitheater Tuesday night. »Read Full Article(38)

Bluegrass giant Ralph Stanley to appear at Pabst Theater Nov. 2
Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley brings his farewell tour to the Pabst Theater's lower level 8 p.m. Nov. 2.
At 86, Stanley has been defining the sound of bluegrass for more than 60 years with the Clinch Mountain Boys. It's not like he's been resting on his considerable laurels: Stanley won his three Grammys in the past 11 years, and was one of the defining voices of the soundtrack for the Coen brothers' 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Great deal
by Acura MDX John from | September 1, 2013
This is a pretty decent used car dealership. The are pretty straight forward about the condition of their cars and their prices are great. It is a wholesale dealer so buyers should not expect all the cars to be in excellent shape but they do have a good selection of vehicles.

GS 300 aka reliability
by Rick from Austin, TX | June 23, 2007
By far the most reliable and comfortable car I have owned. Compared to BMW 5 series a, Audi A6, Infiniti Q, etc. when purchased as a pre-owned certified. Have been very satisfied both with the car and Lexus. Would have loved to have the 430, but actually except for a lead foot problem, the 300 has more than sufficient get-up-and-go.

Sentiment: Sell
Please provide a link to show that a flat tax is coming in our lifetime, or our children's
These dire prognostications about a flat tax seem to come out of the woodwork before every presidential election. It is true that a flat tax would not be good for companies in the tax preparation industry, but we don't have a flat tax now, and if there's any credible indication that we will have one in the foreseeable future, then I have missed it.
There is already a kinda sorta flat tax: the AMT tax.
The Flat Tax might be an improvement over what we have now, but it will never come to pass. The political parties would lose the ability to sell favors to the highest bidders. If that happened our politicians might not become rich in office. The potential losers are the ones who would make the decision. Sooo done lose sleep over a Flat Tax.

Spondylolysis & spondylolisthesis
Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are conditions affecting the joints that align the vertebrae one on top of the other. Spondylolysis is a weakness or stress fracture in the facet joint area. This weakness can cause the bones to slip forward out of normal position, called spondylolisthesis, and kink the spinal nerves. Treatment options include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles. A back brace may be used to support the spine. In some cases, surgery can realign and fuse the bones.
Anatomy of the facet joints
Your spine is made of 24 moveable bones called vertebrae that provide the main support for your body, allowing you to bend and twist. Each of the vertebrae are separated and cushioned by a gel-like disc, keeping them from rubbing together. The vertebrae are connected and held to each other by ligaments and joints, called facet joints (see Anatomy of the Spine).
The upper facet joint and the lower facet joint are connected by a narrow bridge of bone called the pars interarticularis (Fig. 1). The inferior facet of one vertebra fits perfectly into the superior facet of the one below it – overlapping like shingles – beginning with the vertebra at the base of your skull and ending at your tailbone.
What are spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis?
Spondylolysis (spon-dee-low-lye-sis) and spondylolisthesis (spon-dee-low-lis-thee-sis) are separate, yet related conditions. Spondylolysis usually comes first, though not always. The term comes from "spondylo," which means "spine," and "lysis," which means to divide. Spondylolysis is a breakdown or fracture of the narrow bridge between the upper and lower facets, called the pars interarticularis. It can occur on one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) and at any level of the spine, but most often at the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebra (Fig. 2). If spondylolysis is present, then you have the potential to develop spondylolisthesis.
The term spondylolysis is misleading. There may be no crack in the bone because that bone could just be cartilage that never formed into bone. This shows up as a hole or gap on an X-ray. Or it could be that the back part of the vertebra broke off and tried to heal itself with scar tissue sometime in childhood.
Spondylolisthesis is the actual slipping forward of the vertebral body (the term "listhesis" means "to slip forward") (Fig. 3). It occurs when the pars interarticularis separates and allows the vertebral body to move forward out of position causing pinched nerves and pain. Spondylolisthesis usually occurs between the fourth and fifth lumber vertebra or at the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. This is where your spine curves into its most pronounced "S" shape and where the stress is heaviest.
Slippage is measured on a scale from grade 1 slippage (25%) to grade 4 (100%). The more the lower back curves in (swayback or lordosis), the steeper the grade.
What are the symptoms?
Mild cases of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis usually cause minimal pain. In fact, the conditions are often found by accident when a person has a pre-employment exam or an X-ray of the back for an unrelated reason.
When spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis do cause pain, you may experience low back pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. You may also have sciatica (pain radiating down one or both legs), or numbness, though this is not common. Leg pain will usually be worse when you stand or walk.
The amount of pain you have depends on how fast your vertebrae are slipping. If you have very subtle symptoms, you may only feel tightness in your hamstrings or find that you can no longer touch your toes, but not feel any nerve pain.
What are the causes?
Spondylolisthesis is most often caused by spondylolysis. The cause of spondylolysis is not as clearly defined. Most believe it is due to a genetic weakness of the pars interarticularis. Both spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis can be present at birth or occur through injury. Repeated stress fractures caused by hyperextension of the back (as in gymnastics and football) and traumatic fractures are also causes. The most common cause in adults is degenerative arthritis.
Who is affected?
Those who play sports, especially gymnasts and football players, are more likely to have spondylolisthesis. The condition most often affects people over 40 years of age. About 5% of Americans have this structural deficiency and don't know it. Just because it appears on an X-ray doesn't mean you'll have pain.
How is a diagnosis made?
When you first have pain, consult your family doctor. They will take a complete medical history to understand your symptoms, any prior injuries or conditions, and determine if any lifestyle habits are causing the pain. Next a physical exam is performed to determine the source of the pain and test for muscle weakness or numbness.
X-ray test uses X-rays to view the bony vertebrae in your spine and can tell your doctor if any of them are too close together or whether you have arthritic changes, bone spurs, fractures, or any slippage of the vertebrae (Fig. 4).
Figure 4. X-rays show spondylolisthesis at the L4-L5 vertebral level. The spine is flexed (left), then extended (right).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a noninvasive test that uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to give a detailed view of the soft tissues of your spine. Unlike an X-ray, nerves and discs are clearly visible. It allows your doctor to view your spine 3-dimensionally in slices, as if it were sliced layer-by-layer like a loaf of bread with a picture taken of each slice. The pictures can be taken from the side or from the top as a cross-section. It may or may not be performed with a dye (contrast agent) injected into your bloodstream. An MRI can tell your doctor where your spine is damaged and if there is any nerve compression. It can also detect bony overgrowth, spinal cord tumors, or abscesses.
Computed Tomography (CT) scan is a safe, noninvasive test that uses an X-ray beam and a computer to make 2 dimensional images of your spine. Similar to an MRI, it allows your doctor to view your spine in slices, as if it were sliced layer-by-layer with a picture taken of each slice. It may or may not be performed with a dye (contrast agent) injected into your bloodstream.
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan is a sensitive diagnostic tool used to analyze blood flow to an organ which may help determine how that organ is functioning. It involves the injection of a small amount of radioactive substance into a vein. As the substance is circulated in the blood, it is absorbed by the tissues and then gives off energy. This energy is captured by a special camera that transfers the information to a computer. There the information is converted into a 3-dimensional picture. This picture can detect stress fractures, spondylolysis, infection, and tumors by the differences in how the radioactive substance is absorbed by normal healthy tissue vs. diseased tissue.
What treatments are available?
First, athletic activity should be stopped to allow the fracture to heal. Conservative nonsurgical treatment is the first step and may include medication, rest, physical therapy, home exercises, hydrotherapy, a brace, and pain management. Periodic x-rays will allow the doctor to watch the degree of slippage. Surgery may be needed if slippage continues or if your pain is not relieved by conservative treatment.
Nonsurgical Treatments
Self care and braces:
Using correct posture (see Posture for a Healthy Back) and keeping your spine in alignment are the most important things you can do for your back. The lower back (lumbar curve) bears most of your weight, so proper alignment of this section can prevent further slippage and injury to your spinal nerves and discs. You may need to make adjustments to your daily standing, sitting, and sleeping habits. You may also need to learn proper ways to lift and bend (see Self care for Back Pain). You may need to wear a back brace for a short period of time while you strengthen the abdominal and lower back muscles. The brace may decrease muscle spasm and pain as well as help immobilize your spine and help the healing process. Your doctor may refer you to an orthotist who specializes in custom-made braces.
Physical therapy:
The goal of physical therapy is to help you return to full activity as soon as possible. Exercise is very helpful for pain and it can help you heal faster. Physical therapists can instruct you on proper lifting and walking techniques, and they'll work with you to strengthen your abdominal muscles and lower back (see Self care for Back Pain). They'll also encourage you to increase the flexibility of your spine and legs.
Medications: Your doctor may prescribe pain relievers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and steroids. Sometimes muscle relaxers are prescribed for muscle spasms.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and ibuprofen (Motrin, Nuprin, Advil) are used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Analgesics, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), can relieve pain but don't have the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs. Long-term use of analgesics and NSAIDs may cause stomach ulcers as well as kidney and liver problems.
Steroids can be used to reduce the swelling and inflammation of the nerves. They are taken orally (as a Medrol dose pack) in a tapering dosage over a 5-day period. They have the advantage of providing pain relief within a 24-hour period.
Epidural steroid injections: This minimally invasive procedure involves an injection of corticosteroid and an analgesic-numbing agent into the epidural space of the spine to reduce the swelling and inflammation of the nerves. About 50% of patients will notice relief after an epidural injection, although the results tend to be temporary. If the injections are helpful, they can be done up to 3 times a year.
Facet injections: This minimally invasive procedure involves an injection of corticosteroid and an analgesic-numbing agent to the painful facet joint, either inside the joint capsule or in the tissue surrounding the joint capsule.
Holistic therapy: Some patients want to try holistic therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, nutritional supplements, and biofeedback. The effectiveness of these treatments for spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis may aid you in learning coping mechanisms for managing pain as well as improving your overall health.
Surgical treatments
If slippage continues or if your pain doesn't respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be necessary. Surgery can address both the instability of the spine and compression of the nerve roots. The surgeon may first perform a lumbar laminectomy to relieve pressure on the nerve root. Then a bone graft will be used to fuse the loose vertebrae and keep them from sliding out of place. In some cases metal plates, hooks, rods and screws may be used to support the fusion (Fig. 5). It may take a while for the two pieces of bone to grow together, so you should avoid extremes of motion while healing.
Fusion is successful in over 90% of cases because it stops the instable motion and keeps your spinal canal from narrowing further.
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are research studies in which new treatments—drugs, diagnostics, procedures, and other therapies—are tested in people to see if they are safe and effective. Research is always being conducted to improve the standard of medical care. Information about current clinical trials, including eligibility, protocol, and locations, are found on the Web. Studies can be sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (see clinicaltrials.gov) as well as private industry and pharmaceutical companies (see www.centerwatch.com).
