Objectives
The purpose of this study is to introduce the improvement of pediatric patient with a tendency of scoliosis by only Chuna manual therapy in a short period of three weeks.
Methods
Chuna manual therapy was performed to pediatric patient with a tendency of scoliosis who had no other symptoms, including pain and trigger points. To measure spine curvature angle, Cobb's angle was compared before and three weeks after Chuna manual therapy.
Results
After a total of eight times only Chuna manual therapy for three weeks, the Cobb's angle was recovered from 9 degree to normal range, with the extension line of each vertebral body was almost horizontal.
Conclusions
This study may suggests that Chuna manual therapy recover Cobb's angle of a tendency of scoliosis patients. In the future, large-scale randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-up studies are needed to more systematically confirm the effectiveness of monotherapy, treatment period and the relative efficacy with other treatments.
