A case report on nonresolving conservative care of low back pain and sciatic radicular syndrome.

Haney PL, Mootz RD.

A 23-year-old male originally presented in a chiropractor's office for low back pain and leg pain. The case is followed through using conservative procedures without lasting relief. Procedures and special studies are related for determining referral for chemonucleolysis which satisfactorily relieved the condition. Need for proper protocol in problem low back cases is discussed.
