Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition, however there is no conclusive evidence regarding the positive effects of conservative physical therapy management in terms of radiological changes and improvement in disc height. For this reason, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of conservative physical therapy on postural stability, pain and function, but also in terms of disc height in persons with discogenic low back pain.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Both male and female participants
• Aged 18-50 years old
• low back pain intensity less than 80/100mm on visual analogue scale
• positive centralization phenomenon
• low signal intensity of IV disc on T2 - weighted MRI
• high intensity zone towards the posterior aspect of the disc on MRI

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals with and any musculoskeletal, metabolic, or neurological disorders that may impair gait, postural stability or sensory integrity will be excluded from the study.
