Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical effects of needle-embedding acupuncture therapy combined with Korean medicine on a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc.
Methods: We treated one patient with a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc with needle-embedding acupuncture therapy combined with Korean medical treatment. We checked the numeric rating scale(NRS), oswestry low back pain disability index(ODI) and straight leg raising test(SLRT).
Results: In this case, the numeric rating scale decreased, while the straight leg raising test results improved.
Conclusions: Needle-embedding acupuncture therapy could be effective for pain-reduction for a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc.
