Effects of Lumber Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides on Lower Cross Syndrome


Sponsor

Enrollment

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

A sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) is a mobilization technique commonly used in the treatment of painful movement restrictions of the spine.Studing the effect of Lumber SNAGs in lower cross syndrome hold significance due to its potential to correct pain, hypomobility and biomechanical changes i.e hyperlordotic curve and anterior pelvic tilting caused by lower cross syndrome. The specific muscle imbalance seen in PCS gives rise to specific joint dysfunction, particularly in the L4-L5 and L5-S1 segment of the vertebral column. Over time, this causes stress at the L5-S1 segment of the vertebral column leading to pain and irritation in the lower back Lumber SNAGs encourage improvement of these repositioning error, posture, alleviate discomfort and enhance overall functioning. This research aims to offer patients a noninvasive and personalized approach to managing LCS, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and movement quality

Interventions

OTHERTraditional Physical therapy

Conventional treatment protocol including moist Heating pad for low back pain for 15 minutes. TENS for pain for 10 minutes. Stretchings of tight muscles would be 1 set of 5-7 reps with 5 sec. hold 3 times a week. Strengthing of weak muscles would be 2-3 times a weak with 10-15 reps.Stretching protocol will be followed for Iliopsoas and erector spinae muscles. Strengthening protocol will be followed for weak abdominals and Gluteus maximus muscles

OTHERlumber SNAGS

: Lumber mobilizations with conventional treatment protocol. * Lumber Mulligan(SNAGs) technique * Technique applied at L4-L5, L5-S1 level. * Techniques applied for flexion ,extension, side bending and rotation 6 to 8 cycles per session
