Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is very prevalent in clinical practice. It manifests as low back pain and pain radiating to the leg, followed by disfunction and large family and social cost. Risk factors for LDH include biomechanical stress on the lumbar spine, specifically torsion and hyperflexion, poor posture, obesity, and occupational hazards including heavy manual labor or prolonged driving. Rehabilitation therapy mainly includes bed rest, drug therapy, physical therapy, exercise, manipulation therapy, acupuncture treatment, epidural injection treatment and so on. This review summarizes the current status of epidemiology, clinical features and rehabilitation treatment of LDH so as to improve our understanding of it and to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
