Study Summary
This pilot study will examine whether osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can improve both physical and psychological aspects of chronic low back pain by focusing on the interconnected myofascial system of the back, legs, and feet. Twenty adults with chronic low back pain will receive four OMT sessions over 5-7 weeks. Before and after treatment, the investigators will measure muscle stiffness with ultrasound, plantar pressure during walking with a pressure plate, and patient-reported outcomes on pain, disability, sleep quality, stress, anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing, and pain self-efficacy using surveys. By linking these objective and subjective measures, the study aims to provide early evidence of how OMT may influence musculoskeletal function, daily activity, and overall well-being, helping to guide future larger studies on treatment strategies for low back pain
Primary Outcome
Stiffness in the muscles of the low back and lower extremity will be quantitatively assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE). SWE provides a non-invasive, reliable measure of tissue stiffness by calculating the shear wave speed (in meters/second) and corresponding elasticity modulus (in kilopascals). Regions of interest will be placed within target muscles and tissues (e.g., lumbar multifidus, thoracolumbar aponeurosis, hamstrings, gastrocnemius) and standardized acquisition proto
