An intensive non-invasive protocol combining non-surgical spinal decompression and supportive physiotherapeutic modalities in the treatment of double-level disc herniation at L4-L5... by Vincenzo Di Modica, Giuseppe J. Sciarrone

“…Magnetic resonance imaging scans taken after the initial onset of symptoms, prior to and two months after initiating the program, and one month following its completion, revealed significant improvements across all monitored parameters, including canal anteroposterior (AP)1 length and area, disc AP length and area, and herniation index. These structural changes indicated an almost complete restoration of the canal surface and substantial reduction of herniation at both affected levels. …”
