Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : The purpose of the study was to examine lumbar pain through literature reviews about herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD).
Methods : Diagnosis was made by patient’s history, physical examination, simple radiography, myelography, spinal computerized tomography, electromyography, somatosensory evoked potential, etc.
Results : There are two treatment modalities, one is conservative and the other is operative. About 90% of patients with HIVD have been recovered only by conservative treatment and therapeutic exercise was the most effective one among these conservative treatments.
Conclusion : We consider HIVD can be treated with therapeutic exercise which can correct muscular imbalance and facet joint problems and make the degenerative process of intervertebral disc slower.
