Chronic low back pain is a prevalent pain generated due to incorrect working, incorrect body posture and mental stresses. Different non-surgical approaches are advised to reduce pain, preserve mobility and minimize disability. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks combined exercises on the lumbar lordosis angle, pain and the quality of life in females with sciatica. A total number of 15 females aged from 30 to 50 with sciatica and lumbar lordosis included in the study in a targeted manner. Lumbar lordosis angle (flexible rule), pain (McGill’s questionnaire) and the quality of life (SF36 questionnaire) of the cases were investigated before and after performing elected exercises for 8 weeks. Data was analyzed using dependent t-test (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in lumbar lordosis angle before (43.0±0.1) and after (34±0.8) the exercises (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the sensory perception of pain before (2.6±0.8) and after (1.8±0.5) the exercises (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the emotional perception of pain before (1.4±0.2) and after (1.0±0.3) the exercises (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in different and diverse pains before (2.2±0.6) and after (1.8±0.5) the exercises (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the physical life of the cases before (1.4±0.3) and after (1.8±0.5) the exercises (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the quality of mental life of the cases before (2.8±0.02) and after (2.9±0.75) the exercises (P<0.05). It can be concluded that hydrotherapy exercises combined with dry land exercises can improve the lumbar lordosis, pain and quality of life of cases with sciatica. Therefore, it can be recommended as a sciatica-specific modality.
