Brief Summary:
A randomized controlled study with six months follow-up will be conducted to investigate the effects of sagittal head posture correction on 3D spinal posture parameters, back and leg pain, disability, and S1 nerve root function in patients with chronic discogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy . Participants will include 80 patients between 40 and 55 years experiencing chronic discogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy with a definite hypolordotic cervical spine and forward head posture and will be randomly assigned a comparative treatment control group and a study group. Both groups will receive TENS therapy and hot packs, additionally, the study group will receive the Denneroll cervical traction orthotic.
Detailed Description:
Despite the fact that there is some evidence of a link between low back pain and head posture , there is limited experimental data to support a cause-and-effect relationship and interventional outcomes. Accordingly, a prospective, randomized, controlled study will be conducted at a research laboratory of our university to investigate if cervical curve restoration and forward head posture correction will have short and long term effects on three dimensional spinal posture parameters as well as lumbar radiculopathy management outcomes such as symptoms, disability, and neurophysiological findings .In this study we will use an orthotic cervical traction termed the Denneroll to help restore normal sagittal spinal configuration based on principles of 3-point bending traction methods. Interventions will be applied at a frequency of 3 times per week for 10 weeks and groups will be followed for an additional 6-months.
