Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the differences and correlations between application of manualtherapy to different body parts according to sex in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, over the period of 3 years.
Methods: The body parts were divided into pain regions (cervical, shoulder, elbow, wrist, lumbar, hip, knee,and ankle) of residents and office workers in the Chuncheon-si area. Data on the pain area were recordedfrom October 2019 to December 2020 at the neurosurgeon’s clinic and from January to December 2021 atthe orthopedic surgeon’s office in Gangwon-do for 27 months and tabulated using an Excel format by theChuncheon-si local council.
Results: Cervical and lumbar were the most common pain areas where manual therapy was applied (>78%).
Manual therapy was most frequently performed on Friday. Further, women received manual therapy more oftenthan men. There were significant differences in pain between the wrist and knee regions (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Our results provide promising clinical evidence that musculoskeletal pain significantly differsbased on sex and body parts.
