Objectives : A ruptured disc is a condition in which part or all of the nucleus pulposus is forced through a weakened part of the disc, resulting in back pain and leg pain caused by nerve root irritation. In this report, we investigated the effect of oriental medicine treatment in parallel with sling exercise therapy on ruptured intervertebral lumbar disc patients.
Methods : The patients who have ruptured disc were treated by oriental medicine treatment in parallel with sling exercise therapy. The patients’ symptoms were assessed by visual analogue scale(VAS) and revised oswestry disability questionnaire(RODQ) every week.
Results : In all cases, chief complain such as lumbago, radicular pain and paresthesia were improved after above treatment. VAS score and RODQ score of all cases were decreased.
Conclusions : There were usually thought to need operation in ruptured disc. But conservative treatment such as oriental medicine treatment in parallel with sling exercise therapy is helpful to improve the symptoms of the ruptured intervertebral lumbar disc except the emergency state.
