Objectives
This study reports two cases of effective, rapid, and safe reduction of anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) using dislocation Chuna manual therapy (DCMT).
Methods
Two patients diagnosed with ASD at Korean Medicine Hospital were treated with DCMT. The patients were seated, and the technique involved a combination of traction, external rotation, adduction, and internal rotation. After reduction, the affected arm was immobilized using an arm sling to prevent redislocation. The position of the humeral head was assessed by X-rays before and after DCMT.
Results
In both cases, DCMT was successfully applied without complications. Post-reduction X-rays confirmed proper joint alignment and immediate pain relief.
Conclusions
DCMT may serve as an effective, rapid, and safe reduction method for ASD without the need for procedural sedation and analgesia. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate its clinical efficacy and safety.
