Sponsor's own description
Back pain is one of humanity most frequent complains. About nine of ten adults experience back pain at some points in their life and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year. When continued for long period it may constitute a disability which tries the patient of the most stoical individual as well as the doctor called to bring relief to the suffering victim. Kneading massage with topical analgesic is a common practice by physiotherapist especially in Nigeria in the management of low back pain, work has been done to know the efficacy of lofnac gel (topical analgesic) via phonophoresis in the management of low back pain(ojoawo,2015), but the comparison of the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis in the management of low back pain has not been well documented. The purpose of this study therefore, is to compare the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis using lofnac gel in the treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain.
