Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) has emerged as one of the most common causes of low back pain. The routine treatment approach involves chemonucleolysis therapy, discectomy by percutaneous endoscopy, and percutaneous laser disc decompression. Unfortunately, all of these methods carry inherent risk of causing harm to the patient and, as such, there is an unmet but urgent need for an effective and safe noninvasive treatment for LDH. The purpose of this report is to describe a non-invasive method for re-absorption of LDH.
