Brief Summary
Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition. McKenzie's extension protocol is considered to be the gold standard physical therapy treatment for persons with acute discogenic low back pain, however the evidence is deficient in terms of additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in the management of discogenic low back pain. Thus, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of McKenzie's extension protocol in the management discogenic low back pain, but will also look into the additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in combination with McKenzie's extension protocol in the management of discogenic low back pain.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Back Pain
Pain will be measured via Visual Analogue Scale. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
2 weeks
Lumbar Range of Motion
Disability will be measured via inclinometer. A higher score signifies good outcome.
2 weeks
Postural Stability
Postural Stability will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
2 weeks
Lumbar Disability
Disability will be measured via Oswestry Disability Index.
2 weeks

Lumbar SNAGs will be performed in lumbar flexion and extension in standing Position
4 pole inferential therapy in combination with superficial heating for 20 minutes
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Both male and female participants
- aged 18-50 years old
- low back pain intensity less than 80/100mm on visual analogue scale
- positive centralization phenomenon
