Effectiveness and Perspectives on The Application of Traditional Korean And Western Medicine in The Treatment of Lumbosacral Dorsopathy
Abstract
Lumbosacral dorsopathy-related pain syndrome remains a significant global health challenge, requiring continuous advancement in treatment strategies. While Western medicine provides structured and evidence-based approaches, traditional Korean medicine offers complementary techniques that may enhance therapeutic outcomes when used in conjunction. The integration of these two medical systems could lead to more comprehensive and personalized care for patients. Improving treatment effectiveness is critical, as persistent pain from lumbosacral dorsopathy significantly contributes to long-term disability. This review analyzes current diagnostic and therapeutic practices through a systematic examination of scientific literature, highlighting the potential benefits and limitations of combining Western and traditional Korean medical approaches.
