This study reports the clinical effects of Korean medicine treatments, herbal medicine, modified fasting, and space spinal conduction exercise and manipulation (SSCEM) on adolescent obesity patient. A 16-year-old male with a body mass index (BMI) 35.5 kg/m2 was diagnosed with class III obesity. We prescribed herbal medicine and modified fasting alternately three times over a period of five months. Additionally, Korean medicine treatments and SSCEM were performed during the treatment period. After treatment, there was a decrease in body weight by 19.86%, from 115.8 kg to 92.8 kg, BMI from 35.5 kg/m2 to 28.6 kg/m2, and body fat mass from 38.1 kg to 17.0 kg.
