Lumbar Paravertebral Muscle Pain Management Using Kinesitherapy and Electrotherapeutic Modalities

Area of Science:

• Rehabilitation Medicine
• Exercise Physiology

Background:

• Low back pain is a global public health issue affecting adolescents and adults.
• Work environment, physical, and psychosocial factors contribute to low back pain incidence and progression.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate physiological and functional changes in young adults with lumbar spine pain after exercise therapy.
• To assess the impact of rehabilitation treatments on painful lumbar spine conditions.

Main Methods:

• Longitudinal study conducted over 6 months in an outpatient setting.
• Rehabilitation treatment incorporated electrotherapeutic modalities and kinesitherapy.
• Evaluated physiological and functional parameters over time.

Main Results:

• Statistically significant improvements were observed in evaluated parameters across all time points and groups.
• Results align with existing literature on the efficacy of rehabilitation medicine modalities for low back pain.

Conclusions:

• Kinesitherapy can transiently increase heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.
• These physiological changes can return to baseline, particularly with continued training.
• Treatment effectiveness is dependent on the individual patient's clinical-functional status.
