简要总结
Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition. McKenzie's extension protocol is considered to be the gold standard physical therapy treatment for persons with acute discogenic low back pain, however the evidence is deficient in terms of additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in the management of discogenic low back pain. Thus, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of McKenzie's extension protocol in the management discogenic low back pain, but will also look into the additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in combination with McKenzie's extension protocol in the management of discogenic low back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Back Pain
时间窗: 2 weeks
Pain will be measured via Visual Analogue Scale. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
Postural Stability
时间窗: 2 weeks
Postural Stability will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
Lumbar Range of Motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
Disability will be measured via inclinometer. A higher score signifies good outcome.
Lumbar Disability
时间窗: 2 weeks
Disability will be measured via Oswestry Disability Index.
