Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition. McKenzie's extension protocol is considered to be the gold standard physical therapy treatment for persons with acute discogenic low back pain, however the evidence is deficient in terms of additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in the management of discogenic low back pain. Thus, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of McKenzie's extension protocol in the management discogenic low back pain, but will also look into the additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in combination with McKenzie's extension protocol in the management of discogenic low back pain.
