简要总结
Non-specific cronic low back pain is very common condition affecting 30-50% of adults. It is featured by neck muscles contractures which lead to pain and reduction of cervical spine mobility. High intensity laser therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment to improve symothoms in patient with non-specific neck pain.
The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a multi-wave locked system laser therapy in patient with non-specif neck pain.
