Brief Summary

Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a prevalent condition contributing to pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Core stabilization exercises (CSE) have shown promise in enhancing spinal stability and reducing symptoms. Additionally, vitamin D supplementation plays a critical role in musculoskeletal health. Study objective will be to determine combined effect of vitamin D supplementation and core Stabilization exercises is better than core Stabilization Exercises alone in reducing pain-related and functional independence among chronic non-specific low back patient A randomized controlled trial will be conducted on 52 adults aged 25-45 diagnosed with Chronic non-specific low back pain.

Detailed Description

Subjects will be divided into two groups: the intervention group will receive an 8-week Core stabilization exercises program alongside daily vitamin D supplementation, while the control group will receive either Core stabilization exercises alone Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability
