Different exposure times of flexion distraction technique in the L5-S1 distance and local pain of patients with chronic low back pain: A feasibility study

Low back pain (LBP) is a worldwide public health problem. The flexion-distraction technique (FDT) has been considered to treat LBP. However, the adequate dosage and the treatment effects are not clearly understood. This feasibility study aimed to assess the effects of different exposure times with 5 and 10  min of the FDT on the L5-S1 distance and pressure pain threshold (PPT) of patients with chronic LBP.
