Background: Low back pain is a fairly common health problem, with a worldwide prevalence of 1.4-20% and an annual incidence of 0.024-7% per year. One of the causes of lower back pain is a herniated nucleus pulposus. The prevalence of nucleus pulposus herniation in Indonesia is not well documented. One of the complications caused by HNP is drop foot syndrome. Drop Foot Syndrome is the inability to perform flexion dorsum movement of the ankle or big toe. The prevalence of drop foot syndrome is quite rare, with around 8.1% of patients suffering from HN. Case Illustration: A 71-year-old male patient presented with complaints of lower back pain radiating to the left rear thigh since two months ago. The pain was getting worse, and the legs were getting weaker, so that he had to drag his legs. The patient was also often experiencing back pain since five years ago. The
