Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of conservative treatment on Achondroplasia patient who has low back pain with radiation. Methods : The patient was treated by conservative treatment including acupuncture, pharmaco acupuncture, chu-na manipulation, herbal medicine. Numeric rating scale(NRS), Oswestry disability index(ODI) were used to evaluate pain reduction. Physical examination also used to compare with admission state and discharge state. Results : After 1 month admission treatment, NRS decreased 9 to 6, ODI dcreased 56 to 42, ROM improved as normal person. Conclusions : It was efficient that Achondroplasia patient who has low back pain with radiation treated as conservative treatment including acupuncture, pharmaco acupuncture, chu-na manipulation, herbal medicine.

Objectives This review aimed to investigate studies of Chuna manual therapy (CMT) for low back pain and the evidence of their effects in order to suggest a better research method in the future. Methods We investigated studies on CMT for low back pain by searching Korean web databases from 2020 to 2021. As a result, 72 research papers were analyzed according to their published year, the titles of journals, the types of studies, the techniques of Chuna, and the instruments used for assessment. Results The results were as follows: 1. There were three papers published initially in 2000. this number showed a steady increase, and a total of 72 papers were published that year. 2. Studies on CMT were mainly published in the Journal of Korea Chuna Manual Medicine for Spine and Nerves. 3. When categorized according to the methods of studies, a simple case report was used more often than the sum of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs. 4. The most frequently adopted technique of Chuna in the examined studies was the COX flexion and distraction technique. 5. The Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index were used as primary means of assessment. Conclusions Based on the analysis, it was observed that this review provided limited evidence of CMT use in patients with LBP. Therefore, further investigation using well-designed RCTs is required to obtain higher evidence.

We reviewed literatures of western and oriental medicine about postoperative management of spine. Traditionally, with orthoses and bed rest, many physicians restricted activity of daily life and back exercises of patients who had taken spine surgery. More aggressive early mobilization, however, such as strengthening exercise and stretching after 4 weeks of surgery gets grounds nowadays. Physical therapies including manipulation, TENS, MENS, ultrasound and cryotherapy are being used as helpful treatment modalities of postoperative pain and swelling. Failed back surgery syndrome occurs due to wrong patient, diagnosis and surgery and is managed with conservative treatment or reoperation. In oriental medicine, treatments of musculoskeletal injuries including surgical wound are based on the balance of chi(氣) and blood(血).

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to review the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy for the treatment of tension type headache(TTH). Methods : All processes were independently carried out by three investigators. Literature search was performed in 3 databases(pubmed, OASIS, NDSL) from their inception to May 2016. Searched reports was twice excluded for title, abstract and body. And then, data extract and analysis was done before assessing risk of bias by Cochrane Handbook. Results : 11 RCT were included. Generally, Fascia Chuna therapy and Chuna spine & joint manipulation therapy were used for TTH. Except for 1 report, Chuna manual therapy was shown to be effective in treating TTH. In assessing risk of bias, because of the characteristic of intervention, blinding of participants was high risk of bias in most reports. Conclusions : Chuna manual therapy was shown to be effective in treating TTH. In korea, better designed trials with high quality is needed from now on.

Structural Integration(SI), known popularty as 'rolfing', is a systematic programme of connective tissue manipulation. thomas w. Myers who has been working with Ida Rolf's recipe since 1975 presents an alternative and developed version(the Anatomy Trains 12-session recipe(ATR)) based on longitudinal myofascial continuities. In comparison with Ida Rolf's recipe, AR has the different base of myofascial meridian. while they have the same outline, principle, and intention. We intend to introduce an effective approach to postural correction and myofascial treatment through discussion on ATR.

Objectives This study aims to comprehensively review research utilizing ultrasonography for assessing manipulative treatment on spinal diseases, with the goal of promoting the wider integration of ultrasound imaging into clinical practice. Methods A systematic search was conducted on three international databases (Embase, PubMed, Cochrane) up to July 23, 2023. The search included key terms such as ultrasonography, manipulation, and skeletal muscle. The inclusion criteria narrowed down the selection to studies specifically related to lumbar and cervical vertebrae. Results Eleven studies were included in the review, with 10 focusing on lumbar vertebrae and one on cervical vertebrae, all employing spinal manipulation treatment. Among the 11 selected studies, nine primarily focused on ultrasound imaging to measure muscle thickness, while two utilized shear wave elastography to assess muscle stiffness. Also, rigorous measures were taken to ensure the reliability of the ultrasonography data. Conclusions This scoping review highlights the limited but growing evidence supporting the use of ultrasonography to assess manipulative treatment for spinal diseases. Despite a scarcity of studies in South Korea, it is crucial to recognize the potential of ultrasonography in becoming a widely used and practical tool for evaluating the effectiveness of manipulative treatments in the near future.

Objectives : The purpose of the study was to find out the characteristic of patients admitted in Oriental Medical Hospital We to traffic accident and to promote the superiority of oriental medical treatment on the sequelae. Methods : 84 inpatients were analyzed statistically according to medical charts, hospitalized from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004. Results and Conclusions : By gender, males accounted for 38.1%, while females 61.9%. By age, most incidences occurred in the forties (25%), thirties (22.6%) and twenties (16.6%) in order. With regard to the interval from occurrence of accidents to hospitalization, 26 cases (31%) were found to be hospitalized 41 days after the accidents, followed by 21 cases (25%) in $11{\sim}20$ days and 17 cases (202%) in $1{\sim}2$ days. Most cases tumed out to be minor injuries with 40 patients from cervical sprain (47.6%) and lumbar sprain (37%). The mean duration of hospitalization was $36.58{\pm}48.30$ days Inpatients of paralysis of extremities (sequelae of ICH) numbered the longest stay $(121.00{\pm}75.57\;days)$, cervical sprain that recorded $11.28{\pm}6.52$ days hospitalized. Most of inpatients were treated with acupuncture(100%), moxibustion, cupping therapy (97.6%) and herbal medication(96.4%), chuna Manipulation therapy was chosen selectively with sprain, HIVD.

Objectives While Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is highly prevalent in Korea, studies examining its Korean medical treatment are currently lacking. The aim of this study was to assess current Korean medical treatment practice patterns for TMD. Methods A preliminary questionnaire was developed to investigate current practice patterns of TMD treatment and underwent further revision through external review. The final questionnaire was distributed as a web-based survey to 18,289 potential respondents by email. Results The response rate was 2.23%. Most participants replied that they received multiple Korean medicine interventions for TMD treatment consisting of such methods as acupuncture, chuna manipulation, electroacupuncture. The percentage of treatment services among uncovered services, which need to be covered by national health insurance was high in the order of pharmacopuncture, chuna manipulation, and herbal medicine. The most commonly used diagnostic examination tools for TMD was Physical examination and next was Imaging diagnosis. The frequency of TMD treatment was the highest at 2~3 times per week (76%) and the period was from 4 to 12 weeks (63%). Conclusions This survey study helps determine current practice patterns of TMD, and recognizes the need for use of diagnostic devices in TMD treatment. These results are further anticipated to provide basic data for clinical practice guide lines (CPGs).
