Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the image changes of four cases of Lumbar intervertebral disc Herniation after Oriental medicine Treatment
Methods : We examined 4 patients with Lumbar intervertebral disc Herniation (HIVD of L-spine) who showed changes on MRI images before/after the treatment among HIVD of L-spine patients who visited Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine from Jan. 2006 to Apr. 2007.
Results & Conclusions : In this study, the first MRI examination of HIVD of L-spine patients was performed at the first visit and re-examination of MRI was done after the treatment. We assessed clinical symptoms by using Numerical rating scales(NRS). In each case, the size of the disc herniation was considerably reduced in MRI image. NRS was also reduced significantly.
