Purpose: To present the results of a patient with low back pain, MRI confirmed disc herniation/extrusion, who underwent -Rx extension therapies with ASPINE Systems®.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male suffered from low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. MRI studies revealed a hypo-lordosis with confirmed lumbar disc herniation and extrusion at the L5-S1 level. Decrease in global and segmental lumbar range of motion suggested vertebral fixations; several orthopedic and neurological tests were positive.
Results: After 42 -Rx extension treatments over a period of 12 weeks there was a reduction of a lumbar disc herniation and extrusion verified with MRI and improvements in the patient’s symptoms.
Conclusion: A patient with lumbar disc herniation/extrusion was successfully treated with ASPINE Systems® integrating spinal manipulation, strengthening spine muscles, and spinal multidimensional traction all in lumbar -Rx extension. Additional research is recommended in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with extension therapies.
