Objective To explore the effect of core strength training on the rehabilitation of patients with chronic lower back pain. Methods This study selected 66 patients with chronic low back pain from January 2025 to October 2025 for a controlled study. All cases were diagnosed as chronic low back pain patients in our department. The control group received conventional training methods, while the observation group received core strength training methods. The effects and changes in various indicators of the two groups of patients after training were compared. Results Two sets of data showed that the VAS scores of the observation group patients showed a significant downward trend, with a more significant improvement effect, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Comparing the JOA scores of two groups of patients before and after intervention, it was found that the observation group had a JOA score of 6.42 ± 1.32 points before intervention, while the control group had a JOA score of 6.38 ± 1.28 points. There was no significant difference between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05); After intervention, the JOA score of the observation group was 2.15 ± 0.59 points, while the control group was 4.09 ± 0.98 points. After intervention, it was evident that the observation group had a more significant recovery of lumbar spine function, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); From the data, it was found that the observation group had a higher overall effective rate of rehabilitation after intervention, indicating better rehabilitation outcomes, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Through comparative studies, it has been found that although conventional rehabilitation training can alleviate patients' symptoms, the rehabilitation effect of chronic low back pain patients under core strength training is more significant, which can restore patients' lumbar spine function and is worthy of clinical promotion.
