Abstract

Objective: Myogenic low back pain is pain in the lower back in the absence of neurological disorders that occur due to tissue damage to the tendons. Low back pain due to musculoskeletal disorders can cause pain, muscle cramps, and muscle imbalance, which can lead to decreased stability of the abdominal muscles, back pain, limited mobility of back pain, changes in posture, and disability in these patients. Treatment of myogenic back pain can be overcome with non-drug therapy, and in cases of low back pain caused by muscle stiffness, it is recommended to do physical therapy to train the back muscles. Physiotherapy is given by doing Mc Kenzie exercises. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Mc kenzie exercise on reducing pain scale in patients with myogenic low back pain.
