The effectiveness of the P-DTR method used in the non-invasive treatment of L5-S1 disc herniations

The recent increase in the incidence and prevalence of disc herniation in gen-eral, and particularly at the L5-S1 level, as observed in daily clinical practice, necessitates innovative approaches and non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment methods. The Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex method was used to reduce a L5-S1 hernia with fragment migration from 9/12/23 mm visible on MRI, to 6/9/14 mm after 2 weeks of treatment and then to a “small hernia” after 24 weeks during which a total of 6 P-DTR therapy sessions were applied, each lasting approximately 50 min. To obtain consistent re-sults regarding the rehabilitation of a patient with disc herniation with frag-ment migration using the P-DTR method, as confirmed through successive MRI. Application of the principles and method of P-DTR. A considerable reduction in an L5-S1 herniation and migrated fragment is ob-served, with the condition being classified as a "small herniation" after six months of treatment. Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex consti-tutes an effective non-invasive treatment method in L5-S1 herniation cases.
