REFLEXOTHERAPY INTERVENTION IN THE
TREATMENT OF NON SPECIFIED LOW BACK PAIN

By F.M.Kovacs, V. Abraira, G. Lopez-Abente and F.Pozo, Spain

Of 91 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of non-specific back pain, 48 were assigned to a treatment group, and 43 to a control group. The treatment group received reflexology intervention; the control group underwent a similar procedure in which inappropriate zones were stimulated. Participants underwent clinical evaluation immediately prior to treatment, immediately after treatment and 30 days after treatment was completed. The treatment group showed immediate clinical improvements in pain, muscular contracture and mobility. This was statistically significant (p<0.0001). These patients were able to discontinue pharmacological treatment and remain symptom free during the study period. It was concluded that reflexology intervention is an effective method for treating non-specific low back pain.
