Abstract
Low backache is the most common health condition among adults which leads to pain and disability. Radiculopathy is a impaired condition that causes low back pain that radiates to the lower extremity. The aim of this case study is to establish a comprehensive physical therapy plan for a patient who has chronic low back pain and PIVD. The patient was a 30-year-old female with a one month history of LBP. The pain further radiated to both legs. Further magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done, which indicated PIVD at the level ofL4-L5The patient's main concern about her condition was that she was unable to work, engage in her once-loved hobbies, and function without pain or discomfort, and pain has disrupted her sleep. After eight weeks the pain level on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale had reduced from 7/10 at worst to 2/10. The patient said that aggravating pain is reduced. Capacity to function has been restored and sleeping has also been improved. A detailed physical therapy program that included a patient with chronic low back pain and PIVD are McKenzie extension exercise, therapeutic exercise, electrical stimulation, individualized patient education, manual techniques, superficial heat and home exercise program.
