Their demographics characterisitics, numeric rating scale(NRS) and Oswestry back-related disability index(ODI) for low or leg pain, lumbar flexion and extension angle were assessed at baseline and when discharged from the hospital. When it measured the straight leg raisingscale(SLR), the low side of the angle was examined. Treatment every patient has received as follow; herbal medicine, bee venom, acupuncture and physical examination, spinal manipulation. NRS of low back pain and leg pain and ODI is 5.6±2.3, 4.9±2.8 and 45.5±20.0, respectively at baseline and 2.8±1.8, 2.7±1.9 and 27.2±14.1, respectively when discharged from the hospital. range of motion(ROM) of lumbar flexion and extension angle and SLR is 70.0±27.1, 15.4±7.2 and 61.3±23.0 respectively at baseline and 80.5±16.9, 18.25±4.1 and 73.2±14.0, respectively when discharged from the hospital.
