Lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common causes of low back and leg pain in clinic. There are a lot of non-surgical therapeutic methods widely used in clinic for treating lumbar disc herniation. The author assessed the available systematic reviews of non-surgical methods in treating lumbar disc herniation which had been published in these years, and finally a total of 13 systematic reviews were retrieved including 1 about conservative treatments, 8 Chinese medicine treatments, and 4 percutaneous treatments, such as chemonucleolysis and epidural steroid injection. The results showed that the conservative treatments included injections, traction, physical therapy, bed rest, manipulation, medication, and acupuncture. But no evidence was found to show that any of the above treatments was clearly superior to others including no treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. The outcomes from some reviews showed that Chinese medicine treatments were safer and comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese medicine was relatively effective compared with single treatment. Electro-acupuncture, compared with conventional therapy (bed rest, waist protection, pelvic traction, manual or physical therapy) and oral medications as well, was safe and effective in alleviating pain and improving overall function. Chinese medicinal fumigation combined with traction was more effective than single treatment. Percutaneous treatment of chemonucleolysis had much better short-term effectiveness. Percutaneous epidural steroid injection also had certain effects. To summarize, Chinese medicine and percutaneous treatments may be effective in treating lumbar disc herniation. However, more clinical trials are needed, since current evidence is of low quality.
