Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to show the effectiveness of Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy for remaining pain and muscle strength decrease after herniated intervertebral disc surgery. Methods : Two patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome(FBSS) were hospitalized and treated by Korean medical treatments with Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy. The Range of Motion(ROM) of the lumbar spine and Manual Muscle Test(MMT) were adopted to measure the resulting motor recovery after treatment. And the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS) was adopted to measure changes of pain level. Two patients both had Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy category III disorder with short right leg. We applied category III blocking technique everyday for 20 minutes with Korean medical treatments. Results : In both cases, the range of motions were improved and the pain level decreased. And in case 1, muscle strength also showed improvements. Conclusions : We suggest Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy is effective for pain decrease and motor recovery of FBSS patients. Further studies are needed to set up an Korean medical protocol for FBSS.
