다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for the patients with chronic low back pain.
There were 20 volunteers with chronic low back pain and decreased active range of motion in lumbar region selected for this study. The volunteers were excluded from this study showed distinct exclusion criteria, such as a pregnancy, congenital defects, fracture, and arthritis.
The each volunteer had total four times of chiropractic treatment in the period of two weeks from March to September, 2003.
The change of active range of motion and intensity of pain were recorded and statistically analyzed after each chiropractic treatment.
The results were as follows. Each volunteer showed increased active range of motion and decreased intensity of pain after each chiropractic treatment. The largest change of result was monitored after the first chiropractic treatment.
Conclusively, chiropractic treatment should be considered as an effective method to treat patients with chronic low back pain.
