Study Overview
Brief Summary
Discogenic LBP is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Eventhough other types of Chronic LBP are more common, 63% of all patients reporting to tertiary care hospital with LBP are discogenic in nature. However, immediate effects of kinesio-taping on pain and postural stability in discogenic low back pain has not been well documented in existing literature. This study is focused on immediate effects of kinesiotaping on pain and postural stability in persons with discogenic low back pain.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postural Stability
Time Frame: 1 day
Postural Stability will be measured using Biodex Balance System before and after the treatment session
Pain Pressure Threshold
Time Frame: 1 day
Pain Pressure Threshold will be measured using algometer before and after the treatment session. Higher score signifies positive outcome.
Back Pain
Time Frame: 1 day
Pain will be measured using numeric pain rating scale before and after the treatment session. Higher score signifies negative outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
