Implication

This review compares Kaltenborn-Evjenth, McKenzie, and HVLA manipulation techniques for treating lumbar spine pain, suggesting a multimodal approach is best.

Key Points

  • Kaltenborn-Evjenth mobilization effectively improves motion and reduces chronic pain in lumbar spine pain patients.
  • The McKenzie method shows strong results in acute and chronic lumbar pain, emphasizing patient involvement.
  • HVLA techniques provide quick relief for acute symptoms but require careful patient assessment due to intensity.
  • Combining manual therapy with exercise and education yields optimal outcomes for managing lumbar spine pain.
