Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is frequently occurring chronic disease, which is due to degeneration, overload of vertebral movement and trauma4.
If Lumbar disc’s big hernia is either on the lateral side or lateral posterior side, compression syndrome may occur such as radiculopathy, radiculoishemia, radiculomyeloishemia, myeloishemia, myolopathy and its treatment and diagnosis is still remains hard problem that needs to be solved4.
The aim of this study was to treat LDH with some therapeutic methods of traditional medicine and to evaluate evidence based results.
In our study totally 105 people were attended. We divided into 3 groups, which are cupping with needle pricking, warm needling and Chinese acupuncture and each group has 35 attendees. Average age of attendees was 38.7 (CX 6.58), mean age was 39.0 and the youngest was 25 years old, the oldest was 50 years old. In 3 groups, there was no statistical difference in our attendee’s age (p=0.176). 59 (56.2%) of attendees were male and 46 (43.8%) were female.
