Introduction: Low back pain is considered as one of the commonest problems, in which pain is felt in the lumbo-sacral spinal and para-spinal regions which encompass the buttocks and upper thigh. It is one of the most common medical problems that lead to absence from work, the disability arising from pain resulting in significant economic impact. Benefit of nerve flossing and core training exercises that facilitates spinal stability and balance have often been emphasized by researchers to develop strength, endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular control as a cost effective and enjoyable way to prevent lower back pain and injury.
Methodology: It is a comparative experimental study design. 30 subjects were taken ranging from 30 to 55 years of age according to the inclusion criteria and were then divided into two groups with 15 in each group.
Results: The data obtained from VAS and ODI scores for pre and post intervention were compared within the groups utilizing Paired sample t-test, the results imply that the interventions of both the group were effective in improving pain as in VAS scores and disability as in ODI scores. But when compared in between the groups utilizing independent sample t-test, the results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in the scores of VAS, but there is statistically significant difference in the scores of ODI.
Conclusion: The result of this study revealed that nerve flossing along with core muscle strengthening exercises were more effective than core muscle strengthening exercises alone in improving pain and disability according to visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index in non-specific low back pain patients.
