Comparative StudyThe immediate reduction in low back pain intensity following lumbar joint mobilization and prone press-ups is associated with increased diffusion of water in the L5-S1 intervertebral disc.
Single-group, prospective, repeated-measures design. ⋯ In a group of subjects with LBP, who were classified as being candidates for extension-based treatment, the report of an immediate reduction in pain intensity of 2/10 of greater after a treatment of posterior-to-anterior-directed pressures, followed by prone press-up exercises, was associated with an increase in diffusion of water in the nuclear region of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc. Subjects who did not report a pain reduction of at least 2/10 did not have a change in diffusion. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(5):256-264, Epub 12 March 2010. doi:10.2519/jospt.2010.3284.
