McKenzie method of LBP (low back pain) treatment

  • the McKenzie method of LBP (low back pain) treatment is explained by the principle that exercises that encourage disc centralisation should be promoted, and exercises that encourage disc peripheralisation should be avoided
    • after initial assessments, patients are arranged into four groups:
      • postures,
      • derangements,
      • dysfunctions, and
      • the presence of any non-mechanical syndromes
    • in patients with chronic LBP, many pain measures showed that the McKenzie method is a successful treatment to decrease pain in the short term, while the disability measures determined that the McKenzie method is better in enhancing function in the long term (1)
