Study Overview
Brief Summary
The current research will be done to study and evaluate whether applying high velocity, low amplitude thrust to the lumbar spine helps in improving postural sway and hence balance thereby reducing pain and improving functional disabilities in individuals with chronic non specific low back pain, also whether the technique can be implicated in routine practice along with exercise therapy and other management guidelines.
Our back is complex and multi joint region which has various structures that can cause pain and this can be recognized based on location of pain.
This mechanism of action enables the vertebral segments to progress in a bigger range of motion and would diminish the mechanical pressure on paraspinal muscles, thus reducing pain and distress.
20 subjects will receive spinal manipulation i.e. High velocity, low amplitude thrust, to the lumbar spine twice a week along with core stability exercises.
20 subjects will receive conventional exercises- core stability exs.
