Article Synopsis
  • Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of low back pain, and existing treatments like chemonucleolysis and discectomy can pose risks to patients, highlighting the need for safer, non-invasive options.
  • A case study of a 34-year-old woman experiencing severe waist pain and leg discomfort led to the diagnosis of an L5/S1 herniated disc, confirmed through imaging and physical exams.
  • Treatment using three-dimensional spinal manipulation and acupuncture successfully resolved the herniation, suggesting these methods could be effective alternatives for managing LDH.
