Exercises for low back pain due to spinal wear and tear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of exercises (upper back mobility vs. hip mobility) combined with core strengthening to see which better reduces low back pain from lumbar spondylosis (wear and tear in the lower spine). It may help you if you've had pain for over 3 months and have not had spine or hip surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
