Different lumbar traction techniques are widely used for non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) however, which one is more effective is not yet ascertained.The study was designed to examine the effect of manual lumbar traction (MLT) and prone traction (MPT) on pain intensity (PI), disability (Dis), range of motion (ROM) and health related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with NSLBP.Fifty-four consenting patients with NSLBP were purposely recruited and were randomized to MLT and MPT group equally. Subjects in MLT and MPT received manual lumbar traction and prone traction respectively, 10 minutes, twice weekly for six weeks, while PI, Dis ROM and HRQoL were examined at baseline, 2 nd , 4 th , and 6 th weeks of treatment. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Alpha level was ≤ 0.05.MLT and MPT had significant reduction on PI, Dis, ROM and HRQoL at P = 0.000 when baseline, 2 nd , 4 th and 6 th week were compared. There were significant reduction (P = 0.001) when MLT and MPT groups' PI Dis, ROM and HRQoL at 2 nd , 4 th and 6 th week were compared.MLT and MPT were effective in the management of NSLBP with MPT having higher reduction in PI, Dis, ROM and MLT having greater impact on HRQoL.
