Figure 2 from Effect of Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression on Intensity of Pain and Herniated Disc Volume in Subacute Lumbar Herniated Disc | Semantic Scholar (2024)

Non-surgical treatments were effective in reducing pain, improving functionality, and enhancing quality of life in patients with lumbar disc herniation, underscoring their potential as a viable first-line management strategy.

In insights into the differential diagnosis of LDH and spinal tumors, as well as the design of a treatment strategy for severe LDH in the chiropractic clinic, a 33-year-old male waiter with severeLDH is reported.

A 70-year-old woman with a 4-month history of nonspecific low-back pain and spondylodiscitis presented to the chiropractic clinic for conservative management, and her low-back pain was treated successfully with systemic antibiotics, scraping therapy, and spinal manipulative therapy.

A Support Vector Machine model designed to distinguish between spinal fractures and HIVDs using key clinical predictors, including age, gender, preoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, and the number of spinal fractures revealed that age and VAS pain scores were the most critical predictors for accurately diagnosing these conditions.

Spinal decompression therapy can be used as an effective treatment for discogenic low back pain without serious complications, and there was a significant improvement in VAS in SDT group compared to intermittent mechanical traction group.

It is suggested that decompression therapy for the treatment of patients suffering from a herniated lumbar disc has an effect on the pain, SLR, and herniation indices, not disc heights.

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can be a good treatment option for conservative treatment of acute lumbosacral herniated intervertebral disc through magnetic resonance imaging.

Non-surgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in pain and an increase in disc height, suggesting that pain reduction may be mediated, at least in part, through a restoration of disc height.

The lumbar stabilization exercise, which controls balance using pelvic movements, improves mobility and stability of the sacroiliac joint; therefore, it increases pelvic and back movements.

Spinal decompression therapy and general traction therapy are effective at improving the pain, disability, and SLR of patients with intervertebral disc herniation, and selective treatment may be required.

The outcomes of vertebral axial decompression (VAX-D) therapy for patients with low back pain from various causes are reported and improvements in mobility and activities of daily living correlated strongly with pain reduction.

The result of the present study showed segmental traction therapy might play an important role in the treatment of acute LBP stimulated by LDH.

Improvements in pain and disability scores were higher among the operated patients at the early stage, whereas they were not significantly different compared to patients with spontaneous regression at the 6th month.
