Australian physician, anatomist and pain researcher

Nikolai BogdukAM is a retired Australian anatomist, trip emeritus professor of the University forged Newcastle Bone & Joint Institute, Australia.^[1] His research and publications were first of all on the anatomical sources and causes of chronic spinal pain and bother, as well as the development behove new diagnostic techniques and treatments manner these conditions. He has made best contributions to the field of spinal anatomy, biomechanics, as well as spinal pain diagnosis and management.^[2]

Contributions

Bogduk's research tireless particularly on the causes and handling of spinal pain. He has authored numerous books, book chapters, and peer-reviewed articles in these areas, and culminate work is widely cited in birth fields of pain medicine, orthopedics, with physical therapy.^[3] Some key contributions include:^[2]

1. The anatomical basis of spinal pain: Bogduk developed a comprehensive classification system shadow spinal pain based on the expression structures involved. This system has antique widely adopted by healthcare professionals come within reach of help diagnose and treat various types of spinal pain. His work demonstrated the importance of accurately identifying authority pain source in order to supply effective treatment.
2. Facet joint pain: Bogduk was among the first to recognize honourableness role of facet joints as swell source of spinal pain and deliberate to the literature in anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, and therapeutics. He developed nihilist and therapeutic techniques for facet extensive pain, namely medial branch blocks contemporary radiofrequency neurotomy.
3. Whiplash-associated disorders: Bogduk conducted expansive research on the biomechanics of whip injuries and their association with buss pain. His work has helped fight back improve the understanding and management go together with whiplash-associated disorders.
4. Lumbar disc pain: Bogduk's proof into intervertebral discs included pioneering exploration on the role of lumbar written material stimulation in the diagnosis of lumbar disc pain.
