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 provided 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 evaluate pain were compared before and after the treatment.
Results
There was a significant increase in LLA to reach the normal range and a decrease 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.
