Abstract

|
Objectives :To introduce a case of a traffic accident trauma in a patient with lumbar kyphosis and straightened lumbar curvature, where the Korean medicine treatment with Chuna manual therapy (CMT) improved lumbar lordotic angle(LLA) and lower back pain.
Methods : Chuna manual therapy and other Korean medicine treatments; were pro- vided to patient with a flat back posture and low back pain due to the trauma from a traffic accident. Cobb’s angle to evaluate LLA and numeric rating scale (NRS) to eval- uate pain were compared before and after the treatment.
Results : There was a significant increase in LLA to reach the normal range and a de- crease in low back pain NRS after Korean medicine treatment with CMT for 9 days of admission treatment and 3 weeks of outpatient treatment.
Conclusions :This study suggests that Korean medicine treatment, including CMT, may improve low back pain as well as LLA of straightened lumbar curvatures in patients.
