Sound Wave Treatment
"Sound wave treatment with 6 sessions initially, 3 times a week, followed by the next 6 sessions with a frequency of 2 times a week. Patient's position was analysed through digital X-ray of cervical spine, 80 pulses are typically administered in a session. These pulses are applied generally, targeting the 1st cervical vertebra of the spine. This method aims to achieve spinal alignment through the vibrations generated by the treatment. Before and after the treatment, a patient assessment is conducted to observe visible improvements. A mixed waveform of 8Hz-202 Hz resonated throughout the spine, with intensities ranging from 0.3 to 1. In order to affect the lumbar region, where they are also applied, sound waves are employed to activate C1.~After First 3 sessions vibrations on pain focal points also given to the patient the 40 pulses are typically administrated at pain point."
Standard physiotherapy
Flexibility Training: Stretching exercises are crucial to improve the flexibility of the spine and surrounding muscles. This includes stretches for the hamstrings, hip flexors, and lower back Strengthening Exercises: Focus on strengthening the core muscles, including the abdominal and back muscles. Common exercises include pelvic tilts, bridging, and lumbar stabilization exercises Postural Training: Education and exercises to correct posture are vital. Proper posture reduces strain on the spine and helps prevent further injury.(31). Techniques such as ergonomic adjustments at work and home, along with exercises like seated squats and calf stretches Manual Therapy: Techniques such as myofascial release (32) and spinal mobilization. Spinal mobilization as one of the most preferable approaches for the management of LBP
