Introduction : In patient with ankylosing spondylitis, when bone formation progresses, spinal fusion occurs and joint motion is severely limited. We performed Medical Gi-gong and Korean medical therapies in patient with advanced ankylosing spondylitis with spinal fusion.
Case : 46-year-old male with extensive spinal fusion at the cervical and lumbar spine complains of back pain, hip pain, joint stiffness, eye pain, and digestive problems. HLA-B27 (+), mSASSS is 70. Medical Gi-gong was done 311 days for 340 days. Acupuncture, cupping, and manual treatment were performed once every 5.9 days for one year. BASDAI improved from 5.3 to 4.3, BASFI from 4.3 to 3.7, and BASMI from 6.8 to 5.8. mSASSS did not change.
Conclusions : Patients with advanced ankylosing spondylitis were treated with Medical Gigong and Korean medical therapies to achieve a slight improvement.
