The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of conservative treatment for lumber disc herniation (LDH). The level and location of LDH were defined by MRI before treatment in all cases. This study involved 56 patients. There were 35 men and 21 women with a mean age of 34 yeares. Follow-up period ranged from 12 months to 30 months. Out of the 56 patients, 2 (3.5%) had operative treatment, 9 (16%) were under treatment and 45 (80%) almost disappeared their symptoms and were not under treatment. The average period of conservative treatment was 7.1 weeks in 45 cases disappeared their symptoms. Of the period of conservative treatment in these cases, less than 4 weeks were in 20 cases (44%), from 5 to 8 weeks in 15 cases (33%), from 9 to 12 weeks in 8 cases (18%) and from 13 to 16 weeks were in 2 cases (4%). There was no relation between the size of herniated mass and the degree of improvement of symptoms. However, there were some cases with decrease in size of LDH. We realized the effect of conservative treatment for LDH. Therefore, surgical indication is based on the degree of their impairment and it must be considered after adequete conservative treatment.
