Impact of Dorn Therapy on a Patient With a Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc: A Case Report.

A prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) refers to herniation of the nucleus pulposus out of the intervertebral space. Mechanical nerve compression brought on by a protruding nucleus pulposus and an increase in chemokines in the affected area causes the underlying pain, which is typically treated conventionally with surgery or medication. Nonetheless, these management strategies may not always be effective and may impact a person's quality of life. This report highlights the case of a 31-year-old male patient, who complained of neck and low back pain associated with tingling sensations for two months, and was treated with Dorn Therapy (DT) which is the basis of pain management intervention in conjunction with spinal traction, spinal mobilization, stretching, muscular strength training, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Following a week of pain management techniques, DT significantly reduced pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced muscle strength. This case report highlights the impact of DT on pain associated with a PIVD, which may curtail an individual's well-being.
