About

The aim of this study is to investigate the instant effects of direct vertabral manipulation and indirect vertebral manipulation techniques on muscles mechanical properties, pressure-pain threshold and joint range of motion in individuals with chronic low back pain. Another purpose of this study was to compare the effects of both treatment methods on the parameters studied.

Full description

Resolving chronic low back pain is a costly obstacle. There is a wide spectrum of treatment for chronic low back pain, such as exercise training, pain training and spinal manipulation.It is the recommended spinal manipulation in the short and long term in chronic low back pain. Clinical Spinal manipulation is one of the most preferred methods of reducing pain and disability.

46 participants in 2 patient groups

Lomber Roll techniques group

Experimental group

Description:

Direct manipulation will be applied to the lumbar region with the lumbar Roll technique. Painful segment will be determined.

Treatment:

Other: Lomber roll techniques group (n=23)

Posterior- anterior central vertebral manipulation techniques group

Experimental group

Description:

Another technique that we will use as a specific vertebral manipulation technique will be Maitland's posterior-anterior central vertebral manipulation and posterior - anterior unilateral central vertebral mobilization technique.

Treatment:

Other: Posterior- anterior central vertebral manipulation techniques (n=23)
