Abstract
This study was carried out to compare between the effect of ultrasound and low level laser in treatment of postnatal low back pain. Thirty women were diagnosed with postnatal low back pain shared in this study. The study was conducted from June to December 2016. They were selected randomly from outpatient clinic of obstetrics department at Al Zahraa University Hospital in Cairo, Al Azhar University.

Patients with spinal fracture, lumbar spinal stenosis from lumbar disc herniation, degenerative joint diseases, or spondylolisthesis, women with BMI exceed 30 kg/m2, patients who had polyneuropathy or other neurological disorders and patients with skin diseases interferes with ultrasound or laser application are excluded from the study. They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number; group (A) consisted of 15 women and treated by therapeutic ultrasound three times per week for 4 weeks. group (B) consisted of 15 women and treated by low level laser therapy three times per week for 4 weeks. Evaluations of all patients in both groups (A&B) were done before and after the treatment program through measuring pain intensity using VAS, lumber flexion and extension range of motion using Modified Schober method as well as lateral flexion for right and left sides using tape measurement
