영문 초록

Commonly reported treatments for reducing curve progression include bracing, various surgeries, intensive exercise programs, and/or muscle re-education through biofeedback and electrical stimulation. In Japan, treatments of scoliosis are primarily surgery, prosthetic fitting (corset fitting), and conservative treatment. These things are not treatments for removing basic causes, but for symptomatic treatments. Furthermore, the overall medical management for treating scoliosis is considered expensive and consumed much time. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chiropractic care on postural improvement of scoliosis patients. The evaluation for posture in this study was conducted with Chiroprint. Using Chiroprint, before-treatment and aftertreatment postures of each patient were compared and the posture changes were evaluated. The postures of scoliosis patients improved after chiropractic care. This suggests that chiropractic care can be clinically prescribed for postural improvement of scoliosis patients.
