"A Review of Mulligan's SNAG Technique for Managing Non-Specific Low Back Pain"

Abstract

Introduction:Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that causes significant disability and reduces quality of life. Mulligan's SNAG (Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides) technique, a manual therapy approach, has shown promise in treating various musculoskeletal conditions, including non-specific LBP. However, the effectiveness of this technique remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan's SNAG technique for non-specific LBP through high-quality research.Methodology:A Literaturereview was conducted using Google scholar and Pub med search engines and utilized the studies from 2002to 2022to accurately rule out all the possible effectiveness of the Mulligan’s SNAGonnon-specific low back pain. Various outcome measures from these studies were used to support the effectivenessto a certain extent. Results and Discussion:The results of this study will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of Mulligan's SNAG technique for non-specific LBP.Potential mechanisms underlying its effectiveness, such as joint mobility, muscle activation, and pain modulation, will be explored. The study will also compare the safety and tolerability of Mulligan's SNAG technique with other treatment modalities, contributing to the understanding of its risk-benefit profile. Conclusion:The study aims to determine the effectiveness of Mulligan's SNAG technique for non-specific LBP. By investigating potential mechanisms, patient characteristics, and safety aspects, thisresearch aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for its use in clinical settings. The findings of this study will enhance our understanding of manual therapy interventions for non-specific LBP and contribute to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
