Impact of Exercise Therapy on Chronic Low Back Pain: A Comparative Study of Methods

Abstract

Chronic low back pain, also known as CLBP, is a disorder that affects a considerable number of people and has a significant impact on physical function, quality of life, and the expenses of healthcare. Although it is generally acknowledged that exercise therapy is a beneficial intervention for the management of chronic low back pain (CLBP), the comparative effectiveness of various approaches continues to be a topic of ongoing investigation. The purpose of this research is to assess and contrast the effects of different exercise therapy modalities, such as stretching, strengthening, and aerobic activities, on the decrease of pain, improvement of functional abilities, and overall treatment satisfaction among patients. The participants were divided into separate exercise treatment groups and evaluated over the course of a period of twelve weeks. The research was conducted using a randomised controlled trial methodology. According to the findings, the exercises that resulted in the most significant gains in terms of pain alleviation and functionality were those that involved strengthening. On the other hand, stretching exercises produced increases in flexibility and reduced stiffness. A moderate amount of advantages were exhibited by aerobic exercises in terms of reducing pain and improving cardiovascular health. the importance of individualised workout plans that are adapted to the specific demands of the patient in order to achieve the best possible results. These findings contribute to a more nuanced knowledge of exercise therapy in the management of chronic low back pain (CLBP) and provide assistance for physicians and patients in selecting therapeutic modalities that successfully treat the condition.
