%X Objective: To observe the clinical effect of the treatment of lumbar
spinal stenosis disease by adjusting the curvature of the spine based on
orthopedic spinal therapy. Method: Curvature adjustments by four-direction,
spinal orthopedic manipulation and functional exercise were applied to
different patterns of lumbar spinal stenosis. Results: The overall response
rate was 98.9%, including a clinical recovery rate of 83.3%, response rate of
13.3%, marked effectiveness rate of  2.2%
and failure rate of 1.1%. The spinal curvatures were improved in 81% of the patients. The 3- month
follow-up showed that the ¡°excellent¡± and ¡°very good¡± rates of the health
status and signs & symptoms improvement were 98.8% and 96.4% respectively. Conclusion: The
principal objective of curvature adjustment and Chinese orthopedic manipulation
is to adjust the lumbar curvature. Functional exercise is positively correlated
with restoration and stability of the spinal curvature. The follow-up indicates
that regular exercise is essential to facilitate the therapeutic efficacy.
