Fascian.

Abstract

Fascian is preserved particulate fascia derived from the gastrocnemious fascia that extends from the Achilles tendon. Over 50,000 syringes of material have been sold to physicians over the past six years with an impeccable safety record. The material has been used for wrinkles, scars, fat atrophy, diffuse depressions, paralyzed lips and tongues, nasolabial folds, cellulite, and other problems. Solid fascia grafts are routinely replaced with native collagen and a similar effect may be achieved with Fascian, especially after repeat injections. The FDA classifies the material as a tissue product, so injections may be made anywhere in the human body at the physician's discretion. Injections may last from a few months to permanently, depending on the volume of material, location, particle size, skin layer, and technique.

Soft tissue determinants of low back pain.

Low back pain is one of the complaints most commonly seen in the clinical setting. Correctly or incorrectly, these patients are often given the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, disk herniation, or some other label. It is important to recognize the soft tissue causes of low back pain and understand how they can be most appropriately diagnosed and managed. Nonligamentous disorders of the low back region may occur in isolation or in combination with underlying discogenic, ligamentous, and facet-mediated causes of pain. Therefore, in order to fully evaluate and treat a patient with low back pain, it is necessary to consider and address these soft tissue conditions. This paper reviews soft tissue causes of low back pain and discusses how they are most appropriately diagnosed and managed.
