The total duration of the treatment was six weeks with respect to exercise and electrical modalities (SWD & IFT). Ronald-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) was used to measure back related patient dysfunction and evaluated before and after the training period. Statistical significance was determined using ANCOVA and Descriptive test for characterize the low back pain. Result. The adjusted means of EMG, CMEG, EMG & CMEG and CG were 18.967, 18.144, 15.793 and 19.277 respectively. F value was found 2.985 at 3, 39 df at.05 level of significance. Conclusions 1) Significant difference was found between the adjusted means of the combination group and electrical modalities, combination group and control group in relation to low back pain.2) Hence it may be inferred that combination of electrical modalities and core muscle exercise were more effective in comparison to electrical modalities, core muscle exercises and control group.
