Methods : there was a report that the bee venom therapy was effective treatment on the patient of extruded or sequestrated disc. So we treated the patient who was diagnosed as sequestrated disc and hospitalized, and investigated the change of DITI, simple X-rays and MRI before and after treatment. Results : There was remarkable improvement in condition of the patient who had extruded or sequestrated disc after treated by bee venom therapy. It showed that the region of sequestrated L4-5 dise remarkably decreased in MRI, degree of scoliosis decreased from 17 degree to 15 degree in simple X-ray and the difference of right and left became equal in DITI through the follow-up survey. Conclusions : There was reports that bee venom therapy had antinflammatory and antalgic effect and was effective in treating patient of sequestrated disc and in curing pain, functional disorder, and clinical symptom of HIVD patients by means of grade index of lumbago.
