With available diagnostic tools to physical therapists, it has always been a challenge to diagnose and treat the condition appropriately and manage symptoms to improve quality of life.

Outcomes: Total of eighteen sessions of treatment was provided over the period of six months duration. The results of Numeric pain rating scale and Oswestry Disability questionnaire substantially decreased from 8/10 to 1/10 and 68% to 18% respectively.
Conclusion: Appropriate diagnosis and utilization of specific and combination of therapy to address specific dysfunction with home exercise program decreased pain and improved quality of life.
