Brief Summary

In the rehabilitation department, we are working with patients of low back pain for routine management and as well as for research. Still now, the biomechanical ground proofing the beneficial effects of McKenzie Mechanical diagnosis and therapy on non-mechanical low back pain has not been studied in depth. This qausi-experimental study will provide expert-level evidence using gold standard MRI findings to add McKenzie MDT in routine treatment of the condition.

• MRI changes

  fatty infiltration and modic changes

  At baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

Study Arms (1)

Interventional group

EXPERIMENTAL

Mckenzie Extension Exercises

Other: Mckenzie Extension Exercises

Interventions

Mckenzie Extension Exercises OTHER

After two weeks of initial consultation, the patient will be taught to perform slouch-overcorrect on day 1 followed by flexion on day 2 in lying position and accompanied by flexion for 5 days in sitting position and finally flexion in standing will be performed. The exercises will be repeated for 10 times and followed by extension in standing exercises.
