abstract

Introduction: Lower back pain (LBP) is a widespread condition that impacts the muscles and bones of the lower spine, affecting millions of people worldwide. It is a leading cause of disability and can significantly diminish a person's quality of life. The condition can arise from multiple factors, such as muscle overuse, age-related spinal changes, or maintaining poor posture for extended periods. LBP is typically categorized by how long it lasts—acute, subacute, or chronic—and symptoms can vary from a mild, persistent discomfort to intense pain that may spread to other areas of the body.

Methodology: This study adopts a quantitative research approach to evaluate the effectiveness of the Acharya Technique (video-assisted) in managing lower back pain among women in selected areas of Daund city. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, with participants divided into experimental and control groups. The study utilized purposive sampling, selecting 120 women aged 18 to 60 years experiencing lower back pain.

Result: The findings indicate a significant reduction in lower back pain among participants in the experimental group compared to the control group. Statistical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the Acharya Technique in pain reduction, highlighting its potential as a nonpharmacological intervention for LBP.

Conclusion: The study underscores the role of structured physical interventions in managing LBP. The results align with existing research advocating for exercise-based therapies. However, limitations such as sample size and self-reported data necessitate further large-scale studies.
