Study Summary

The primary aim of this study is to examine how different physical therapy interventions affect the resting state and contraction state of a certain abdominal muscle in patients with low back pain.

Primary Outcome

Measurement of change in thickness from resting to contraction will be compared at baseline (pre-intervention) to immediately following the intervention (post-intervention). The study is looking at the immediate effects so there is no short-term or longer follow up.

Interventions

  • OTHER Thrust Joint Manipulation of the Lumbar Spine
  • OTHER Non-thrust Joint Manipulation of the Lumbar Spine
