Abstract/Notes The management of a patient with L4 radiculopathy with side posture spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is described. Dramatic improvement both subjectively and objectively followed a short course of SMT of the lumbar spine. This case is used to illustrate aspects of the natural history of lumbar discogenic radiculopathy, safety and effectiveness of SMT for disc herniations, diagnostic imaging, and differentiation of referred vs. radicular pain syndromes. Also included is a short summary of the safety and effectiveness of surgery for lumbar disc herniation. We conclude that side posture SMT in this case was safe and may be effective in the treatment of presumed lumbar spine disc herniation with L4 radiculopathy.
