Background: Treatments for low back pain (LBP) vary widely. In Africa, the most common
forms of therapy include rest and pain medications. However, a novel conservative therapy
for LBP is the non-surgical spinal decompression (NSD)(with Intervertebral Differential
Dynamics (IDD)) even though considered investigational, improves LBP. This study was

Abstract
Background: Treatments for low back pain (LBP) vary widely. In Africa, the most common forms of therapy include rest and pain medications. However, a novel conservative therapy for LBP is the non-surgical spinal decompression (NSD)(with Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD)) even though considered investigational, improves LBP. This study was aimed to investigate the outcome of chronic LBP with or without radiculopathy using NSD amidst other conservative treatment.
Method: Patients were treated with an average number of 10 sessions within 2 months of NSD therapy, in addition to spinal mobilisation, cervical and lumbo-pelvic muscles re-education programme, soft-tissue therapy, low-level laser therapy, hot or cold application and home exercise programme if indicated. Pre-and post-intervention scores of pain intensity of each treatment session on a Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) were compared using a paired t-test to determine statistical significance.
