Abstract

Background: The majority of people who experience myogenic low back pain (LBP) do so while going about their normal lives. Compared to other physical therapy technology applications, the combination of laser and dry needling with core stability exercises for LBP myogenic pain has not been utilized as frequently in clinical practice. Methods: Purposive sampling is used to select subjects. Subjects were those who fit the criteria of the study and reported experiencing myogenic LBP. The number of subjects in group I was 35 subjects and group II was 34 subjects. Experimental study with two groups participating in pre and post-testing. Phase I of the research was conducted in 2021 at the Sunafa physiotherapy practice, Colomadu, and Karanganyar. Phase II of the research was conducted there in 2022. After discovering that the research data was not normally distributed, a nonparametric test was conducted. Results: The combination of core stability exercises and dry needling reduced myogenic LBP complaints (p = 0.000), using laser therapy along with core stability exercises significantly reduced the number of complaints of myogenic LBP (p = 0.000). Dry needle and core stability exercise, as well as laser and core stability exercise, both reduced pain in the same way as myogenic LBP complaints (p = 0.242). Conclusion: Both laser therapy and dry needling combined with core stability exercises are useful in easing myogenic LBP complaints.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain is a common complaint among pregnant women and is related to biomechanical adaptations, weight gain, and hormonal changes during pregnancy. Health promotion efforts, such as structured home exercise programs that focus on core stability and flexibility, can help alleviate these symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured home exercise program in preventing and managing low back pain in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters. Methods: A pre-experimental design with a single group and pretest-posttest approach was utilized, involving 42 pregnant women chosen through purposive sampling. The participants engaged in a Structured Home-Based Core Stabilization and Flexibility Exercise Program twice a week, with each session lasting 30–45 minutes over a span of eight weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Due to the non-normal distribution of the pre- and post-intervention scores, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used for analysis. Results: The VAS score significantly decreased from 4.81 ± 1.44 to 1.93 ± 0.84 (p < 0.001), with an average reduction of 2.88 points. The effect size was very large (r = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.86–0.88), indicating a strong intervention effect on pain reduction. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the program is an effective non-pharmacological health promotion strategy and can be recommended for routine implementation in maternal health services to prevent and manage low back pain during pregnancy.
