Summary

Among different spinal manual therapies, which have been reported to be effective in the management of LBP are Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAGS) and Vertical Oscillatory Pressure (VOP) . Vertical oscillatory pressure is a derivative of manipulative therapy whereby a gentle vertical manipulative oscillation is applied on spinal vertebrae and has been noted to be effective in management of low back pain . On the contrary, the SNAGS is a manipulative technique that is commonly used in the western countries and found to be effective in reducing pain and disability in the management of mechanical LBP . However, there are limited studies comparing the effects of SNAG and VOP on clinical and psychosocial variables in patients with mechanical LBP in Nigeria. Hence, this study aims at investigating the effects of Nwugarian VOP and SNAG techniques on selected clinical and psychosocial variables in patients with mechanical LBP.

Conditions

  • Non Specific Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Vertical Oscillatory Pressure (VOP)

The VOP involves a pressure from the posterior aspect of the body while patient lye prone. the pressure is exacted directly on the spine, The sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides involves pressure as well when the patient sits down on a chair. The movement is done from the posterior to the anterior as well
