Summary

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a widespread yet difficult-to-manage and treat public health condition with a significant treatment failure rate. Both inversion table therapy and mulligan techniques are very effective in reducing low back pain. A number of literature supports the effectiveness of both techniques individually but there is no literature available that provide comparison between these two techniques.

Detailed description

Study objective will be to compare the effect of inversion table therapy versus mulligan techniques on pain and lumber flexibility in patients with chronic low back pain

Conditions

• Chronic Low-back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	Inversion Table	Inversion Table group will receive flexion biased exercises in supine position with 05 repetitions every session and in addition will be given an inversion table therapy as a treatment at the angle of 60' for 5 minutes in every session. Two follow ups in a week were taken for total of 04 weeks. Measurements were taken for NPRS, Oswestry low back disability questionnaire and sit and reach test respectively
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	Mulligan flexion biased exercises	experimental group named as Mulligan group will receive flexion biased exercises in supine position with 05 repetitions every session and in addition will be given mulligan technique. It was done at level just below ASIS (at level of L4-L5 spinous process), ten times/session, for 12 sessions three/week every other day for 4 weeks. .
