This study tests two types of hands-on spinal mobilization techniques (Maitland and Mulligan) combined with exercises that open up the spinal canal, to see if they can ease low back pain and leg symptoms caused by spinal stenosis. If you're younger (25-40) with a recent herniated disc, this might help you understand your treatment options.
This study tests gentle back movements (not forceful adjustments) to see if they help relieve low back pain that has lasted more than 3 months. If you have low back pain without leg pain, this may be an option to try.
This trial tests different hands-on mobilization techniques to reduce pain and improve function in adults with long-lasting low back pain. It may help you move better and feel less discomfort without surgery.
This study tests a gentle, hands-on treatment called Mulligan mobilization for people with long-term low back pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. The goal is to see if this technique helps reduce pain and improve movement.
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques for people with stiffness and pain in the upper-to-mid back. It tests whether slow, consistent pressure or a gentle rhythmic movement works better right away to improve your back mobility and reduce pain.
This trial tests a gentle muscle stretching method (muscle energy technique) on the latissimus dorsi muscle to see if it reduces pain, improves daily function, and increases spine movement in people with long-term low back pain.
