The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical variables before and after the application of chuna therapy for life-care in chronic and acute low back pain patients. The following conclusions were drawn. First, there was no significant difference in pressure pain, EMG and Trunk ROM(range of motion) between chronic and acute low back pain patients. Second, before and after application of chuna therapy, post-pressure pain showed significant difference between chronic and acute low back pain patients and reduced pain (p<.05). Third, before and after application of chuna therapy, there was a significant difference between the patients with chronic low back pain and those with quadratus lumborum and glutaeus medius (p<.05). And patients with acute low back pain showed significant differences in muscle activity in erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, and glutaeus medius (p<.05). Fourth, before and after the application of chuna therapy, trunk ROM showed significant differences in backward, left and right direction of patients with chronic back pain (p<.05). And Patients with acute low back pain showed significant differences in the range of motion before, after, left, and right (p<.05).
