The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides with and without Pilates on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with lumbar Disc Bulge.
Lumbar disc disease may occur when a disc in the low back area of the spine bulges or herniates between the bony areas of the spine. Lumbar disk disease causes lower back pain and leg pain and weakness that is made worse by movement and activity. Lumbar disc bulge is typically managed through a multidimensional approach that integrates various therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and enhancing functional outcomes. The use of SNAGs has been shown to produce positive results such as decreased pain levels and increased mobility in previous studies. Overall physical conditioning can be improved by using a holistic approach that consists of controlled movements combined with breathing techniques and mindfulness. In order to treat lumbar disc bulge patients more effectively, it is important to understand how use and efficacy differ when applying SNAGs alone versus together with Pilates. Delving into how combining SNAGs and Pilates affects lumbar disc bulge patients contributes to an expanding body of proof advocating for a multimodal treatment.

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
NPRS scale can be used to quantify pain intensity levels. The 11-point scale ranges from '0' for the least amount of pain "no pain" to '10' for the most extreme levels of pain "pain as severe as you can imagine". It is convenient to use NPRS for patients. Its score ranges between 0-10. "change will be measured from baseline to 3 weeks"
Time frame: 3 weeks
Modified Oswestry Disability Index
The ODI is a disease specific disability measure is used to establish measure a level of disability stage of patients' acuity status and monitor change over time. The final score ranges from 0-100. A score of 0-20 reflects minimal disability, 21-40 moderate disability, 41-60 severe disability, 61-80 crippled, and 81-100 bed-bound. "Change will be measured from baseline to 3 weeks"
Time frame: 3 weeks
Lumbar ROM by inclinometer
Inclinometer is used to measure the range of motion on Lumbar spine. "Change in ROM will be measured from baseline to 3 weeks".
Time frame: 3 weeks
