The primary aim of this study is to examine how different physical therapy interventions affect the resting state and contraction state of a certain abdominal muscle in patients with low back pain.
Patients with low back pain (LBP) will undergo ultrasound imaging of the transversus abdominis to measure the muscle thickness at rest and at the contracted state prior to intervention and again immediately after intervention. In this randomized controlled trial, patients will be randomized into one of two groups. One group will receive the intervention of thrust joint manipulation of the lumbar spine and the other group will receive the intervention of non-thrust joint manipulation of the lumbar spine.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thrust Joint Manipulation | Active Comparator | Patients will receive thrust joint manipulation to their lumbar spine in side lying. |
|
| Non-thrust Joint Manipulation | Sham Comparator | Patients will receive non-thrust joint manipulation, oscillations into slight rotation, without cavitation, to their lumbar spine in side lying. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Transversus Abdominis thickness change. | Measurement of change in thickness from resting to contraction will be compared at baseline (pre-intervention) to immediately following the intervention (post-intervention). The study is looking at the immediate effects so there is no short-term or longer follow up. | Baseline to immediately after the intervention (within 5 minutes). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire | The score of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire will be compared from baseline, immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes), and follow-up within 48 hours over the phone. | Baseline, immediately post-intervention (within 5 minutes), and follow-up within 48 hours over the phone. |
