Summary

Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is extensively musculoskeletal conditions, where manual therapy techniques have been widely employed in its management, but their short term efficacy in chronic low back pain still need more investigations. Objective: This study aimed to discuss the SNAG versus Maitland techniques in the management of NSLBP. Methods: 60 patients with chronic NSLBP will share in the study. Sessions will be conducted 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The outcomes will be evaluated for pain by the numerical rating pain scale (NPRS), disability through Oswestry Disability Index, flexion range of motion by back range of motion device, postural stability by Biodex system will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a four-week follow-up

Conditions

  • Non-specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Maitland

Maitland technique therapy, which consists of passive mobilizations applied to the lumbar facet joints in an anterocranial direction while the patient is in a prone lying position

PROCEDURE

SNAG

The technique involves applying a sustained glide to the lumbar facet joints while the patient is in a sitting position, and the pelvic girdle will be stabilized by a belt. Then the therapist will ask the patient for active forward flexion of the spine while the pressure on the facet joint is maintained during the movement till its end
