Abstract

본 연구의 배경은 카이로프랙틱 치료가 목통증환자의 관절가동범위와 통증에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 것이다. 연구방법은 만성목통환자 8명, 급성목통환자 8명에게 2013년 4월부터 6월까지 각각 2주간 총 4회 카이로프랙틱 치료후 관절가동범위와 통증 정도를 비교한 비동등대조군 실험설계이다. 자료는 SPSS 12.0 Version(Window XP)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과는 급성목통환자와 만성목통환자 모두 카이로프랙틱 치료 후 관절가동범위와 통증정도에 있어 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.05). 결론은 급성, 만성 목통증 환자를 대상으로 카이로프랙틱 치료를 한 결과 목부위 관절가동범위와 통증정도가 개선되었으며, 환자들의 삶의 질과 웰빙을 개선하기 위해 이에 대한 후속 연구와 임상에의 적용이 계속되어야겠다. Background: this study examined the Chiropractic therpy's influences on range of motions and pains with patients who have neck pain. Methods: In an experimental study with a two-group(chronic neck pain vs acute neck pain) design, 16 participants were enrolled for 2 weeks, 4 times, from march to april, 2013, with 8 acute neck pain patients and 8 chronic neck pain patients in chiropractic threrapy. Results: after the chiropractic threrapy, range of motions improved and pains were reduced significantly in both acute and chronic neck pain patients(P<.05). Conclusion: the chiropractic threrapy was effective in improving range of motions and reducing pains in persons who have acute and chronic neck pain. Thus, the chiropractic threrapy could be a resource for continuing study and adaptations to enhance the quality of life and well-being of neck pain patients.
