Abstract

The current study was conducted on a 25 year- old man who had an experience of a car accident 3 years ago and was suffering a lot of pain in lumbar and pelvic regions during last seven months.  He was carefully examined and assessed during the study. This person who also had an experience of a car accident 3 years ago was carefully examined and assessed during the study. A multimodal physical approach based on manual therapy, electrotherapy and exercise therapy was adopted to eliminate the pain and to correct malalignments. The patient received 15 treatment sessions and depending on the patient’s status, the intervention techniques varied every session. He was re-examined to have the effectiveness of the treatment process evaluated in first, 5th, 10th and last sessions. Reassessment of the patient was done every other five sessions in order to change the treatment procedure, if there was no improvement in symptoms. This study showed that detailed assessment and re-assessment during the treatment sessions had a significant effect on improvement of the symptoms In addition, according to the patient’s needs, different interventions could be used every session. However, Patient’s satisfaction, Physician and limitations about medical insurance have to be considered. Improvement in daily life activity and function, and reduction of pain immediately after the treatment supported the beneficial response obtained by physiotherapy approach in group dysfunction of lumbar and pelvic.
