The author has treated the disease by applying moxibustion and achieved quite satisfactory therapeutic effects. A report follows. Clinical Data Among the 30 cases in this series, 17 cases were male and 13 cases female, ranging in age from 6 to 17 years with 11.5 years on average, and in course of disease from 2 to 26 hours. The left side was affected in 21 cases, and the right side in 9 cases. The anterior-posterior radiograph films showed unilateral protrusion of the vertebrae in all the 30 cases. The lateral radiograph films showed normal physiological curvature in 3 cases, straightened in 18 cases, and reversed in 9 cases.展开更多
