Chuna therapy
"The chuna therapy group will receive chuna therapy based on the degree of displacement of the lumbar, ilium, sacrum, and cervical vertebrae. The type of weight or treatment is selected based on the clinical judgment of the Korean medicine practitioner (HVLA: high-velocity low-amplitude thrust, drop table manipulation, muscle energy techniques, myofascial release, etc.). The area and number of treatments performed are recorded separately. Thermotherapy is applied as an adjuvant treatment.~The treatment will be administered between MCD 8 and MCD 28, twice a week during the 1st and 2nd cycle. The number of treatments can be adjusted depending on the patient's menstrual cycle and degree of displacement."
