Abstract

A 28-year-old woman presented with postpartum pelvic pain. The patient complained severe pain and couldn't walk at all a week after natal. Computed tomography and plain radiography of the pelvis didn't reveal abnormal condition except asymmetrical alignment. Chuna treatment isn't usually applicable to the patient after natal. But we tried Chuna treatment to adjust the asymmetrical alignment of pelvis by half degree of strength. The pelvic pain improved considerably after 2 weeks treatment, so we report this case to emphasize the role of Chuna treatment in the management of postpartum pelvic pain.
