Abstract

Objective:  The aim of the study is to investigate the immediate effect of spinal manipulation methods on low back pain in low back pain problem seen in housewives.

Methods: Research data were obtained from 20 housewives with low back pain who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. The pain of the patients was determined with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Trunk movements evaluated (flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion) were performed using a goniometer. Right-left leg length difference, right-left Spina Iliaca Posterior Superior (SIPS) levels and finger to floor distance were measured with a tape measure. Postural assessment was evaluated from the front and side using the PosturScreen phone application. Evaluations were made before and immediately after mobilization and manipulation techniques applied to the lumbar region.

Results: Data analysis was performed with descriptive statistics and changes difference pretreatment and posttreatment with Paired Samples T test. The change in VAS score difference pretreatment and posttreatment was significant (p<0.001). There was an increase in the flexion, extension and right lateral flexion angles of the trunk and the change was significant (p<0.05). There was no difference finger to floor distance measurements difference pretreatment and posttreatment (p>0.05). There was a decrease in the difference between each leg length and two SIPS difference pretreatment and posttreatment, and the change was significant (p<0.05). There was no difference pretreatment and posttreatment in the front and side posture analysis (p>0.05).

Conclusion: In our study on housewives, it was seen that manipulative techniques reduce low back pain, increase joint range of motion, and are an effective method in correcting differences in leg length and SIPS.
