AB - Objectives :The purpose of this study is to identify the essence of bone-arrangement therapy experienced by patients suffering from low back pain.
Methods :The current study was approved by the institutional review board(IRB No. I-1110/005-001) and planned by phenomenological methods among qualitative studies. In-depth interviews with nine patients who visited and treated their low back pain in a bonesetter’s office at Busan were completed and was analyzed based on a Collaizzi’s phenomenological method.
Results :The interviews were classified into five themes as follows : “Low back pain with large amounts of inconvenience”, “Repulsion to existing medical treatment”, “Treatment by hand is the best”, “Must hold out bone set therapy”, “Giving up more improvement or hope for keeping health”Patients often are misunderstood because they could not actively participate in social activities due to their low back pain or frustrated by their incompetence to finish their work on time. They also visited a hospital to treat their pain, but had no reaction even after getting an injection or rather felt worse due to formal treatment. At first, they felt nervous and in great pain during process of treatment, but after a certain period of treatment, they felt much easier in their back and refreshment.
Conclusions :The therapeutic effects by a unique treatment called bone set experienced by patients suffering from lower back pain patients who have no effects from the institutional treatment were reported in the current study. Through this finding, it is considered that further study on more objective and detailed therapeutic effects should be conducted.
