Summary

Radicular low back pain (RLBP) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by nerve root irritation or compression, often resulting in altered biomechanics, muscular imbalances, and postural deviations such as anterior pelvic tilt.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Dynamic Stretching Protocol

Participants assigned to Group A will undergo a structured dynamic stretching protocol, designed to enhance lumbar flexibility, core muscle activation, and postural alignment, specifically targeting the pelvic inclination associated with radicular low back pain (RLBP). The intervention will be administered three times per week under the direct supervision of a qualified physiotherapist. Each session will last for 30 minutes, beginning with a 5-minute warm-up involving light aerobic activity such as marching or gentle trunk rotations to prepare the body for movement. This will be followed by 20 minutes of dynamic stretching exercises, focusing on the major muscle groups that influence pelvic and lumbar mobility.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Neural Mobilization Technique Protoco

Participants in Group B will receive a standardized neural mobilization intervention, targeting the sciatic nerve and lumbar plexus, known to contribute to pain and restricted mobility in radicular low back pain (RLBP). The treatment will be conducted three times per week, with each session lasting 30 minutes under the guidance of an experienced physiotherapist trained in neurodynamic techniques. The session will begin with a 5-minute preparatory phase to position the participant comfortably and explain the sequence of movements. This will be followed by 20 minutes of gentle neural mobilization techniques, including nerve sliders and tensioners, performed through movements such as the Straight Leg Raise (SLR) sliders and the Seated Slump mobilization technique.
