Brief Summary
Lumbar pain is considered one of the most frequent health problems faced by human populations on a global scale. This study will be carried out to evaluate the efficiency of motor control treatments combined with diathermy in patients diagnosed with acute lower back pain, focusing upon the potential for accelerated patient recuperation if both treatments are applied simultaneously and jointly.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pain
An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by nerve endings of nociceptive neurons. The measurement tool that will be used is Visual Analog Scale. This scale is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity. It has a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line with an interval of 10 points, where 1 is the minimum intensity of pain the patient can endure and 10 is the maximum intensity of pain the patient can endure.
