Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patients aged 40-65 years will be included.
* Patients with a diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy confirmed by clinical evaluation by a physician or physiotherapist.
* Patients with a history of radicular leg pain and/or numbness or tingling sensation in the leg.
* a positive score on the Straight Leg Raise (pain between 35 degrees and 75 degrees), pain limiting functional ability, and scores at least 3/10 on the VAS, restricted lumbar range of motion - 25% flexion, 20% extension.
* Patients who have not received any form of treatment for lumbar radiculopathy within the past 3 months
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients with a history of fracture or dislocation of the lumbar spine.
* Patients with a diagnosis of any other neurological disorder or neuropathy.
* Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
* Patients with any other medical condition that may interfere i.e. inflammatory rheumatic disease, cardiac pacemaker, continuing that may interfere with the study outcomes or put them at risk with the study outcomes or put them at risk.
