Results: Among the 70 patients the bulk of the patients in group A were between the ages of 41 and 50. 16 (45.7%) and in group B, the bulk of the patients were between the ages of 41 and50, with 14(40.0%) instances falling into this category. There was no statistically significant difference in age between these two groups (p=0.050). Males were more prevalent than females in group A, with 25(71.4%) instances. The difference between these two group was not statistically significant (p=0.314). The mean score of Schober’s test before treatment were 3.8 ± 0.7 and 3.6 ± 0.7 (p=0.418). The mean score of Schober’s test 2 weeks after treatment were 4.8 ± 0.8 and 4.5 ± 0.6 (p=0.082). The mean score of Schober’s test 4 weeks after treatment were 5.2 ± 0.8 and 4.7 ± 0.7 (p=0.012). ...
