Brief summary (from the registry)
Low back pain is caused by strain of the ligaments or muscles around the vertebral column or a musculoskeletal system formed due to compression of the nerves coming out of the spinal cord is a system nuisance.The process that begins as acute pain become chronic with prolongation of life, limit physical function and negatively affecting the quality of work, loss of workforce and health care It is an important health problem that causes an increase in expenditures. Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in the study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and control. Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise program in the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group. Pain intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception (digital inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability index), and quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.This study aims to investigate the effect of the Graston technique added to exercise on pain, proprioception, disability, flexibility, and quality of life in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
