One case on Lumbar Kyphosis with Complaining Lower Back Pain and Low Extremity Pain

Objectives : We already know the importance of stability and flexibility on the vertebra. It is important to keep the lumbar lordosis for stability and flexibility. We hope to reduce lower back pain and low extremity pain by changing the angle of the Lumbar Kyphosis through conservative treatment. We have evaluated the effect of conservative treatment with Saamchimbeop Pejeonggyeok by experimenting one patient suffering from Lumbar Kyphosis with lower back pain and low extremity pain. Methods : One patients were diagnosed as Lumbar Kyphosis through X-ray examination. We used conservative treatment, especially Pejeonggyeok Treatment to the patients and measured NRS((Numerical Rating Scale), rating scale for low back pain, low extremity pain and SLR(Straight Leg Raising) test and walking time in whole term of admission. and we also measured flexion, extension angle and lumbar kyphosis using lumbar x-ray lateral view after diganosing by Lumbar Kyphosis. Results and Conclusions : After treating conservative therapy, We figured out that the patient were on the mend. and we found out the angle change in flexion, extension and lumbar kyphosis. These results suggest that Pejeonggyeok Treatment were effective to improved Lumbar Kyphosis and reduced the low back pain.
