Brief Summary

Determine the improvement in nonspecific low back pain patients with osteopathic techniques (Body Adjustment Protocol) and know changes in stabilometric measures analyzed with a stabilometric platform (Footscan®).

Conditions

Lower Back Pain

Keywords

NON SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN; OSTEOPATHY; FOOT PRESSURE PLATFORM; POSTURAL BALANCE

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Oswestry Questionnaire

  Improvement of low back pain measured by Oswestry Questionnaire: The results of the lumbar scale Oswestry disability percentage will be obtained. Results of the initial measurement, final month of treatment and compared.

  5 minutes

OSTEOPATHIC PROTOCOL

EXPERIMENTAL

Physiotherapist applies an osteopathic treatment in non-specific low back pain patients. The experimental group is treated with osteopathy, three sessions (20 minutes/session) and a frequency one session/week. Osteopathic treatment osteopathic is a body adjustment protocol. This protocol adjusts the musculoskeletal disorders since neck to lower limbs in the experimental group. Before treatment, immediately after the last session and a month later, are measured stabilometric parameters, height and Oswestry.

Other: Osteopathic

Auto Stretching

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients realizes stretching protocol: two stretching global postures once a week (10 minutes for each posture) for three weeks: the first is for the anterior muscular chain and the second posture to stretch the posterior muscle chain. Before three stretching, immediately after the last session and a month later, are measured stabilometric parameters, height and Oswestry.

Other: Auto Stretching
