Abstract

To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with spinal massage in the treatment of patients with idiopathic scoliosis and its influence on spinal function. A total of 78 patients with idiopathic scoliosis admitted to our hospital from January to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. One group (control group, 39 cases) received routine rehabilitation combined with acupuncture treatment, and the other group (observation group, 39 cases) received spinal massage on the basis of the control group. The TCM symptom scores and spinal function of the patients were evaluated. The TCM symptom scores of the observation group after treatment were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The spinal function of the observation group after treatment was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Acupuncture combined with spinal massage for patients with idiopathic scoliosis helps relieve various symptoms, improve spinal function, and facilitate patient recovery.
