Summary

Lumbar disc bulges lead to considerable pain and disability in affected individuals, with current interventions lacking consistency of outcomes. The lumbar regression method offered a hopeful, noninvasive option.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Advanced Physiotherapy

The physiotherapist used the regression techniques for 1 hour of session 2 times for 8 weeks. The caudal component involved the spinous process of the treated segment touching the therapist's hand and not applying force as though mobilising the segment at grade 2. These were applied if there is a suspected case of a posterolateral disc prolapse where the aim is to increase the diameter of the foramen and decrease the tension exerted on the nerve root. Applied posteroanterior was used to distract the anterior intervertebral end plate and to approximate the posterior end plates so as to pull back the protruded nuclear material by creating a negative pressure.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy Techniques

In traditional physiotherapy, the patient underwent two sessions per week for eight weeks. Each session lasted one hour and included 20minutes of TENS treatment. The flexibility exercises consisted of hamstring stretches and single and double knee-to-chest stretches. The strengthening exercises were partial sit-ups, quadruped lifts, and double leg hold; pelvic tilts were performed with 10-15 repetitions, each held for 20-30 seconds and repeated three times.
