Abstract
BACKGROUND: Low Back Pain (LBP) is a common and disabling disorder among adults in India. Nonspecific back pain, with or without radiation is by poor posture or long term abnormal physiological loads. Physical deconditioning, Lack of exercise, and frequent abnormal loading result in the formation of trigger points in the musculature causing musculoskeletal imbalance. The Management of LBP including Surgery, Drug therapy and non-medical interventions. Clinicians have been seeking for beneficial non-drug therapies including acupuncture, exercise, and multidisciplinary and behavioural treatment. OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine the efficacy of Dry Needling with stability exercises. 2. To determine the efficacy of Manual Pressure release with stability exercises. 3. To compare the effectiveness of Dry Needling with stability exercises and Manual Pressure Release with Stability Exercises Techniques. METHODOLOGY: In this experimental study 20 patients with Non-Specific LBP were randomly divided into two Group (A&B). Group A was given Dry Needling with Stability Exercises, and the other Group B was given Manual Pressure Release with Stability Exercises. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index ODI), Modified Schober Index (MSI)were taken to compare before and after treatment regime of 4 weeks. The baseline measurement was compared to the Data. RESULTS: Both the Groups had decrease of pain in VAS score and improved functional ability in ODI, and improved Lumbar flexibility in MODIFIED SCOHBER INDEX. But the Group A felt significant pain release after4 weeks and better functional improvements than Group B. CONCLUSION: This study found that the reduction of pain, lumbar flexibility and functional improvement were seen in both the Groups. But Dry Needling with Stability Exercises in Group A has shown more significant effect than Manual Trigger Release with Stability Exercises in Group B.
