Effects of spinal manipulation or mobilization as an adjunct to neurodynamic mobilization for lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the long-term clinical effects of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) or mobilization (MOB) as an adjunct to neurodynamic mobilization (NM) in the management of individuals with Lumbar Disc Herniation with Radiculopathy (DHR).

Design

Parallel group, single-blind randomized clinical trial.

Setting

The study was conducted in a governmental tertiary hospital.

Participants

Forty (40) participants diagnosed as having a chronic DHR (≥3 months) were randomly allocated into two groups with 20 participants each in the SMT and MOB groups.

Interventions

Participants in the SMT group received high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation, while those in the MOB group received Mulligans' spinal mobilization with leg movement. Each treatment group al
