The study has collected a set of clinical materials such as extension-flexion dynamic lumbar spine radiographs and computerized x-ray tomography of lumbar spine and quantified physical examination from 32 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation

who had gone through a successful conservative treatment. The collection was conducted twice before and after the treatment. With the help of t-test and linear correlation analysis

the study suggests that extension-flexion radiograph of lumbar spine is of important clinical significance in weighing the clinical state of an individual patient

especially for those who receive conservative treatment. The study emphasizes that the biomechanical disturbance of lumbar spinal column may be from another important pathological element along with the irritation of the nerve root by herniated disc tissue in the pathomechanics of lumbar disc herniation. There is also some discussion of the computerized X-ray tomography diagnosis in this study. Above all

the author provides a new angle of viewing the trouble by one of the soul principles of traditional Chinese medicine: concept of holistics.
