Egoscue and Core Stabilization for Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain is a widespread musculoskeletal condition that limits mobility and affects quality of life. It is often caused due to the poor posture, hyperlordosis and weak core muscles. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of egoscue based postural correction combined with core stabilization exercises compared to core stabilization exercises alone in managing chronic low back pain. The primary outcomes measures includes numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), while secondary outcomes includes range of motion (Inclinometer), and posture (flexicurve Ruler).

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 25-55 years , both genders * Pain 4-7/10 (NPRS) * Patients with chronic low back pain * Hyperlumbar lordosis Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with lumbar radiculopathy * Patients taking painkiller medications, patients with other spinal pathologies * Patients with neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis), patients with any cardiac or psychological disorders
