Abstract
|

|
Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional spinal deformity defined as lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane of more than 10°. This study describes a case of functional scoliosis after hip injury. In this case, the patient fell whilst inline skating (June 2015) causing severe tilting of her spine, and left hip pain. She received outpatient treatment from July 14, 2015 to December 28, 2015. For approximately 5 months, acupuncture therapy was performed to relax the tension in both hips, Chuna therapy, and foot orthosis were applied to reduce the body’s imbalance. Based on X-ray images, the Cobb angle had decreased from 14.73° (pretreatment) to 1.90° (posttreatment). This case report suggested that Korean medicine treatment could be an effective therapeutic choice for functional scoliosis.
