ABSTRACT
Pain, sensory abnormalities, muscle weakness and movement limitation are typical symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Lumbar area is the most prone to slipped disc characterized by herniation of degenerated disc material out of its original position. Pain is currently managed via drug therapy, physiotherapy or, as the last option, surgical care. Spinal decompression therapy is recently gaining popularity due to non-invasive approach and clinical effectiveness.
The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of the conventional therapy and lumbar stability exercises with spinal decompression combined treatment in individuals with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
Oswestry disability index ODI values for both experimental and control groups obtained at the baseline, 10th day and 21st day of the trial are shown in Table 1.
A significant improvement in patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation in both experimental and control groups was observed. Spinal decompression therapy further enhanced results in terms of decreased disability and pain score and proved to be an effective tool in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
