Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Conservative treatments have been reported to diminish or resolve clinical symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) within a few weeks.
METHODS: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar region of a 25-year-old male diagnosed with LIDH showed prolapse of the L5/S2 disc. The disc extended 1.0 cm beyond the vertebral edge and hung along the posterior vertebral edge. The patient elected a conservative treatment regimen that included traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and massage. During a follow-up period of more than 12 mo, good improvement in pain was reported without complications. MRI of the lumbar region after 12 mo showed obvious reabsorption of the herniation.
CONCLUSIONS: A conservative treatment regimen of TCM, acupuncture, and massage promoted reabsorption of a prolapsed disc.

摘要：
背景：据报道，保守治疗可在几周内减轻或解决腰椎间盘突出症（LIDH）的临床症状。
方法：诊断为LIDH的25岁男性的腰椎区域的计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像（MRI）显示L5/S2椎间盘脱垂。椎间盘超出椎骨边缘1.0厘米，并沿椎骨后边缘悬挂。患者选择了包括中药（TCM）在内的保守治疗方案，针灸,和按摩。在超过12个月的随访期间，据报道疼痛改善良好,无并发症.12个月后腰椎区的MRI显示突出明显的重吸收。
结论：中医保守治疗方案，针灸,按摩可促进椎间盘脱垂的重吸收。
