Non-specific LBP (NSLBP) is defined as tension, soreness and stiffness of unknown aetiology in the lower back region with joint, disc and connective tissue involvement potentially contributing to symptoms. Treatment modalities like Snehana (oleation), Swedana (sudation), Basthi Karma (medicated enema), Agnikarma (therapeutic cauterisation), Lepa (local application) etc. In this case, Basthi, Alabu, Physiotherapy's integrative approach, along with Yogaraj Guggulu, Rasnasaptaka Kashaya, and Hingwasthaka Choorna has been selected for managing NSLBP. The present study concludes that the integrative approach of Ayurveda and Physiotherapy helps manage NSLBP.
