Brief summary (from the registry)
Brief Summary: Low back pain is very common problem in all the developed countries and affects children to elderly. Based on the etiology the low back pain is divided into two type: nonspecific and specific low back pain. If the pathological reason is known it is defined as specific and if the reason for the pain is unknown it is defined as nonspecific low back pain. The postulated reason for nonspecific low back pain is the segmental instability of the lumbar spine. Diaphragm muscle has a role in maintaining the segmental stability. The aim of this study to reduce the severity of the low back pain with improving the stability of the lumbar spine by using diaphragm training.
