Advanced Manual Therapy Approach for the Management of Non-specific Low Back Pain: A Case Report

The lower back is a complex area, with joints having a very limited range of motion and vast muscular activity. Low back pain is common, and its management depends upon the pain generators. There are various treatment options available, depending on the cause of the pain. In this case, a medical student with pain on a scale of 8/10 on activity came to the physiotherapy department for rehabilitation and pain relief. Her low back pain was chronic and non-specific. The aim of rehabilitation was to reduce the pain and make the patient pain-free. An integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT), along with a conventional physiotherapy approach, was given to the patient. The integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique can be used to reduce lower back pain and functional disability. After physiotherapy rehabilitation, the range of lumbar flexion improved. In patients presenting with low back pain, early physiotherapy should be started to maintain strength, reduce pain, and reduce functional disability.
