Intervertebral disc disease is a medical condition in which the disc, a fibrocartilage substance, escapes in the spinal cavity and compresses the spinal cord and it often co-occurs with Chiari-like malformation. A 7-year-old Pomeranian dog was referred for a forelimb ataxia. Disc protrusion at C2 to C3, crowding of the caudal fossa and mild cerebellar herniation into the foramen magnum were confirmed through Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was hospitalized for two weeks and received electroacupuncture along with other rehabilitation therapies. After 2 weeks of inpatient treatment, there was an improvement in the patient's clinical symptoms.

The purpose of this research is to identify traction effects for the treatment of scoliosis and compare the effects among patients as their own physical characters. In this research, the patients with scoliosis hospitalized for ten days have treated in the way of the static traction for twenty hours a day, and alternating lumbar and cervical traction for twenty minutes two times a day in the department of rehabilitaton of Yong-Dong Severance Hospital. The followings are the conclusions of this research: 1) The traction for the patients with scoliosis is effective treatment method to reduce the curved angle (p<0.001). 2) Statistically there is no significant difference of the reduced curved angle between male and female after the traction (P>0.05). 3) Statistically there is significant difference of the reduced curved angle among age groups after the traction (P<0.05). 4) Statistically there is significant difference of the reduced curved angle among curved angle groups after the traction (p<0.001). 5) Statistically there is no significant difference of the reduced curved angle among shapes of curved angle after the traction (P>0.05).
