A study on the Synergic Effects of Posture Correction when Performing Exercises for Body Balance with Chiropractic Manipulation

This study was conducted to verify the if the abnormal posture of the patients can be returned to normal when the chiropractic manipulation and the exercise for body balance were performed together for 10 weeks (3 months) from the 20 Japanese patients having abnormal posture regardless of gender, out of whom 10 patients were selected for group performing chiropractic manipulation only and other 10 patents were for the group performing chiropractic manipulation and the exercise for body balance together. The period applied to this study was 10 weeks performing 10 times of exercise for the groups performed chiropractic manipulation and the group performed chiropractic manipulation and exercise for body balance. Also, the data processing for hypothesis testing was analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and the results are as follows. First, the posture analysis results on the pelvis tilt angle in lateral position represented that 3 persons (30%) showed improved, 7 persons (70%) showed deteriorated and none (0%) showed no difference in the group performed only chiropractic manipulation, while in the group performed both chiropractic manipulation and exercise, 4 persons (40%) showed improved, 6 persons (60%) showed deteriorated, and none (0%) showed no difference, that is, the group performed both chiropractic manipulation and exercise represented 10% better results than the group performed only chiropractic manipulation. Second, the posture analysis results on the head in the lateral position represented that in case of the group performed the chiropractic manipulation only, 7 (70%) persons showed improvement, 2 persons (20%) showed deteriorated and 1 person (10%) showed no difference, while in case of the group performed both chiropractic manipulation and exercise, the 9 persons (90%) showed improved, 1 person (10%), deteriorated, and none (0%) showed no difference, that is, the group performed both chiropractic manipulation and exercise represented 10% better results than the group performed only chiropractic manipulation. Third, the posture analysis result on the shoulder tilt angles in the rear represented same results for both groups showing as 5 improved persons (50%), 3 deteriorated persons (30%) and none showing no difference (0%). Fourth, the posture analysis on the both side of pelvis tilt angles in the rear represented same for both groups showing 5 improved persons (50%), 4 deteriorated persons (40%), and 1 person showing no difference (10%). Since in this study, the group performed both chiropractic manipulation and exercise for posture balance during 10 weeks showed the much better posture correction effects than the group performed only chiropractic manipulation, it is considered that not only chiropractic manipulation but also the exercise for posture balance is important.
