We treated her by acupuncture, a herbal medicine, cupping treatment and measured visual analogue scale(VAS), Oswestry disability index(ODI) and Roland-Morris disability qustionnaire(RMDQ) from 5th March 2010 to 26th March 2010. Results : After treatment, most symptoms decreased, VAS score changed 10 to 2, ODI changed 388, RMDQ changed 13 to 6.
