Summary

This study was conducted with the aim of determining whether or not Non surgical spinal decompression therapy was effective in remission of herniation, decreasing pain and improving functional status.

Detailed description

Both groups received combination of electrotherapy, deep friction massage and stabilization exercise for fifteen session. Combine group received non surgical spinal decompression therapy (NSDT) different from conventional physiotherapy group. Numeric Analog Scale, Straight leg raise (SLR) test, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were applied at baseline and after treatment. Disc height and herniation thickness were measured on Magnetic Resonance Imagination (MRI) which performed at baseline and three months after therapy.

Conditions

• Lumbar Disc Herniation

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	DRX 9000, Axiom Worldwide, Tampa, Florida	non-surgical spinal decompression therapy consist 18 traction cycles. Traction force applied herniation levels according to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
OTHER	physiotherapy	electrotherapy was used. electrotherapy consisted of 20 minutes of hot-pack, 20 minutes of TENS and 5 minutes of ultrasound.
OTHER	spinal stabilization exercise	spinal stabilization exercises started elementary exercises. According to patient tolerance, exercise program reestablished.
