A Case Report on Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis by cotreatment With Chuna Manual Therapy

Objectives The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of cotreatment with Chuna Manual Therapy for Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis. Methods The patient treated by Chuna Manual Therapy for 14days. Treatmental effects were measured by using the Verbal Numeric Rating Scale(VNRS), Neck Disability index(NDI) and Cervical spine Range of Motion(C-spine ROM). Results VNRS decreased 8 to 3, NDI also reduced 44 to 20, and Cervical spine Range of Motion was improved Flexion 5°, Extension 5°, Lat.bending 5°/5°, Rotation 10°/10° to Flexion 30°, Extension 30°, Lat.bending 4 0°/40°, Rotation 60°/60° after Chuna Manual Therapy. Conclusions Cotreatment with Chuna Manual Therapy can be effective treatment for a patient with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis. Further clinical studies are needed to verify the findings.
