Summary

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NS-CLBP) is defined as lumber pain persisting for longer than three months, in absence of a suspected pathology or any specific cause. A specific diagnosis of low back pain cannot be obtained in approximately 80% patients with low back pain, indicating that patients with low back pain are often diagnosed with non-specific low back pain and these are the majority of the individuals with low back pain that present to physiotherapy In other cases the cause may be a minor problem with a disc between two spinal bones (vertebrae), or a minor problem with a small facet joint between two vertebrae. There may be other minor problems in the structures and tissues of the lower back that result in pain. Objective of this study is to compare the effects McGill stabilization exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, range of motion and functional disability in chronic non-specific Low back pain.

Conditions

  • Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

McGill stabilization exercise

McGill Curl Up Lie down on your back. The Side Bridge Lie on your side. The Bird Dog.

OTHER

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique

. The patient is in sitting position and faces the physical therapist. The RST program consisted of alternating (trunk flexion-extension) isometric contractions against resistance for 10 seconds, with no motion intended. Subjects performed 3 sets of 15 repetitions at maximal resistance provided by the same physical therapist. Rest intervals of 30 seconds and 60 seconds were provided after the completion of 15 repetitions for each pattern and between sets, respectively.
