To evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-modal conservative rehabilitation protocol for patients with chronic low back pain.
Case series of two patients with chronic low back pain receiving a multi-modal rehabilitation program.
Patients underwent 36 treatment sessions over 12 weeks, including postural therapies and Mirror Image® traction.
Baseline tests and patient-reported outcomes were assessed before and after treatment, with follow-ups conducted 18 and 26 months later.
Patient A showed lumbar lordosis improvement from -21.8° to -33.6°, while Patient B improved from -22.6° to -42.4°.
Patient-reported outcomes and disability indices improved significantly post-treatment and were sustained in long-term follow-up.
Both patients maintained improved spine alignment and reported resolution of initial symptoms.
