Abstract

Background: The present study has been conducted to evaluate selected Naturopathic therapeutic procedures on individuals with low back-pain. The understanding of back-pain as one of the commonest clinical presentations, made the path to the present study. More than three-quarters of the world’s population experience back-pain at some time in their lives.
Materials and Methods: Twelve patients were selected for the study and randomly divided into two groups, viz., Group A, Naturopathic group and Group B, Control group. Advice for life style and diet was given for all the patients. The effect of the therapy was assessed subjectively and objectively. Particular scores drawn for Naturopathic group and control group were individually analyzed before and after treatment and the values were compared using standard statistical protocols.
Results: Naturopathic intervention revealed 100% relief in both subjective and objective parameters (i.e., 6 out of 14 parameters showed statistically highly significant P < 0.01 results, while 8 showed significant results P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Statistically highly significant results of this study point out the successful management of the multifactorial low back-pain with a multi-focus Naturopathic treatment approach. Such encouraging results may pave the way for a future study on a large sample in a longer duration incorporating clinical investigations.
