Abstract
Purpose. To assess the efficacy of visceral osteopathy for low back pain (LBP) caused by visceral dysfunctions.
Methods. Randomized controlled trial. This research included forty participants ranged in age from 25 to 40 years old who were suffering from LBP due to visceral dysfunctions. They were split into two classes of the same size; Study group (A) received visceral osteopathic manipulations once a_week for three weeks and Control group (B) received analgesic drugs only for three weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Owestry disability index (ODI) and Modified Schober’s test (MST) were evaluated for all participants in both groups before and after treatment.
Results: The comparison between both groups revealed significant decrease in VAS and ODI (p < 0.05) as well as significant increase in MST (p < 0.05) in favor of study group (A) post treatment.
Conclusion: Osteopathy is effective in pain management and functional status improvements in LBP patients.
Key words:
