Chronic Low Back Pain and its Sustainable Management by Using Core Strengthening Exercise and Mechanical Traction

Abstract

This experimental study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of neural mobilization and conventional physiotherapy technique in patients with chronic low back pain with a sample of 100. The study reveals that the mean age of the core muscle strengthening group was 33.88+(or)-10.77 years whereas mechanical traction group was 42.46+(or)-9.51 years of age. Study shows that mean BMI of core muscle strengthening group and mechanical traction group was 24.05+(or)-4.329 and 25.28+(or)-4.562. Study found that the mean severity of pain before treatment was 6.380+0.725 and after treatment was 2.74+(or)-0.921 of core muscle strengthening and the mean severity of pain before treatment was 7.100+(or)-0.839 and after treatment was 3.64+(or)-1.173. Study shows that mean score Oswestry low back pain disability index of core muscle strengthening before treatment was 20.54+3.7 and after treatment was 7.94+(or)-3.419, compare to mechanical traction before treatment was 22.88+(or)-3.127 and after treatment was 11.92+(or)-4.004. There was statistically highly significant findings of core muscle strengthening and mechanical traction where t-value was 35.665 and 26.938 which was measured by Universal pain Assessment Tool, another statistically highly significant finding of core muscle strengthening and mechanical traction where t-value were 21.995 and 19.039 which was measured by Oswestry low back pain disability index.
