“…However, Park et al suggested that acupuncture may be an effective and safe treatment for impingement syndrome, and MacPherson claimed that the effect of acupuncture lasts over 12 months [ 13 , 24 ]. In order to effectively treat shoulder pain, many methods have been used such as electro-acupuncture, rehabilitation, trigger point dry needling with manual pressure technique, and conservative Korean Medicine treatments such as MA, PA, herbal drugs, moxibustion, and Chuna manipulation along with AK’s manipulation [ 25 - 29 ].…”

The aim of this study was to report on the improvement of shoulder pain resulting from disorders of the rotator cuff such as impingement syndrome and adhesive capsulitis, by manual acupuncture (MA) and pharmacopuncture (PA) following origin/insertion technique (OIT) of applied kinesiology (AK). Two patients were treated with MA and PA after OIT on shoulder muscles. The Numerical Rating Scale and the assessment of the Japanese Orthopedic Association scores were used to assess the pain, and ultrasound images were taken to compare treatment outcome. This study showed that MA and PA following OIT may be an effective treatment for impingement syndrome and adhesive capsulitis.

“…49 Furthermore, a 2019 study showed significant VAS pain scores (p<0.001) in 24 lumbar spinal stenosis patients who were treated with a combined conventional therapeutic approach including traditional acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and applied kinesiology. 50 A 2016 Cochrane Systematic Review that evaluated five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared surgical versus non-surgical treatment (including acupuncture) of spinal stenosis concluded that there is a very low amount of confidence in asserting whether surgical or conservative nonsurgical management of spinal stenosis has better outcomes. However, the authors found that the conservative treatment options, such as acupuncture had no reported side effects, and the side effects from surgical management were from 10% to 24%.…”

Acupuncture has been a staple of Eastern medicine for thousands of years. Recent evidence has shown that the benefits for spinal stenosis are strong. In this comprehensive review, the history and available literature will be reviewed. In addition, how the techniques have evolved, and their clinical utility will be discussed. The process and progression of spinal stenosis are addressed. The mechanism of action for acupuncture and the relevant treatment implications will be discussed. This is important in alleviating pain and providing a good quality of life. The findings in the pre-operative, peri-operative, and postoperative periods are highlighted. Finally, the preclinical data provide compelling evidence for novel pathways to be targeted. This resource could serve as a user-friendly guide for the clinician and scientist on this important topic. It might be the catalyst of ongoing investigation from clinical and preclinical sides.

Objectives The present study examined the recent domestic and international trends of non-surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Methods The studies on non-surgical treatment of LSS were investigated via searching Korean web databases and PubMed. As a result, 39 studies were analyzed according to the authors, the types of study, the relationship to surgical treatment and the method of treatment. Results The first authors' occupations were identified as 17 doctors, 12 Korean medicine doctors, six physiotherapists, three chiropractic doctors and one doctor of science. The most common type of study in Korea was the case report and most of the studies were retrospective. Overseas, there were many prospective or experimental studies including randomized controlled trials (RCT). In Korea, non-surgical treatment was performed independently of surgical treatment in most cases. Among non-surgical treatments, the most researched treatment was traditional Korean medicine (TKM), followed by injection therapy, exercise therapy, and physical therapy. Conclusions Through this review, we can determine the effectiveness of TKM and its research direction. TKM should be studied experimentally including RCT and it should be conducted not only on acupuncture, but also on other treatment methods such as acupotomy, chuna, and herbal medicine. It is also necessary to conduct studies on TKM before and after surgery to compare the effects of surgery and TKM together, as well the effects on non-surgical treatments.
