Laser therapy and hands-on treatment for long-term low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of high-intensity laser therapy (a painless light treatment) and a gentle hands-on technique called 'Mulligan mobilization' to see if it helps reduce chronic low back pain. The goal is to find a non-surgical way to improve your pain and movement.
