ABSTRACT

Objectives :The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of flexion-distraction technique on low back pain. Methods :The 40 patients were divided into 2 groups: group A was treated except flexion-distraction technique and group B was treated with flexion-distraction technique. Both groups were treated with acupuncture treatment, physical therapy and manipulation. Patients were evaluated by McGill pain questionnaire-short form(SF-MPQ), visual analogue scale(VAS), Oswestry disability index(ODI) and pain disability index(PDI). Results :1. Both Groups were significantly decreased in VAS and ODI after 3 weeks of treatment. 2. Group B compared with Group A was significantly decreased in SF-MPQ, VAS, ODI and PDI after 3 weeks of treatment. Conclusions :We found out that flexion-distraction technique is considered to be effective and useful on low back pain.
