The aim of this study is clinical trial to investigate the effect of Radial Extracorporeal Shock wave therapy in patients with sciatica and low back pain caused by post laminectomy scarring. the study will answer the following question:
1. what is the effect of Shock Wave Therapy on low back pain and sciatica caused by post-laminectomy fibrosis? patients in the study group will receive radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy and conventional physical therapy program (TENS, electric heating packs, and McKenzie back exercises).
