Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Pain Threshold measured using Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) testing

Time Frame: Change from Pre-treatment to Post-treatment, 2 Weeks

Outcome will be measured using Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) testing. Pressure will be applied to subjects using a digital algometer. Three trials for PPT will be done and the mean value will be calculated.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in function measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
  • Change in Low Back Pain measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
  • Change in Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
