Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the kinesio taping method is effective in the treatment of chronic (more than six months duration) low back pain.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Kinesio Taping method

The tape is applied depending on the physical examination: * Muscular technique is placed along paravertebral muscles if back pain in flexion or extension improves when skin/fascial mobilisation is applied in the direction of paravertebral muscle fibers; the base is placed up or down if the mobilisation direction is up or down respectively. * Space technique is placed horizontally over the painful spinal segmental level if back pain in flexion or extension improves when skin/fascial mobilisation is applied approaching to a central point. * Fascia technique is placed horizontally over the painful area in paravertebral muscles if back pain in flexion or extension improves when skin/fascial mobilisation is applied transverse to the paravertebral muscle fibers.

DEVICE

Kinesio Taping sham

The tape is applied with 0% tension, horizontally over two non-tender to palpation spinal segmental levels. The patient is kept in neutral position.
