Discussion
The case described in this paper demonstrates the KKT treatment focused on low back pain. Research literature reveals that even mild LBP results in significant functional loss and decreased quality of life. LBP is the second most common cause for consulting a doctor. Typical treatment of LBP includes various psychological, medical, and physical therapies. When these treatment options fail, the patient often chooses the last option – spinal surgery. However, spinal surgery may not produce symptomatic relief in the long-term and so the patient returns to daily activity with complications. The KKT approach, treating the patient with sound wave stimulation [3,6,7,9], presents a non-invasive alternative. This case study of a middle-aged adult patient who presented with low back pain radiating to both lower limbs treated with KKT is consistent with evidence previously published [3,7,9,10]. After the patient received 18 sessions over a period of 13 weeks, he reported improvement in disability and pain scores, sleep, mood, quality of life, and work performance, No adverse effects were observed. Improvement in the lumbar spine was noted on MRI imaging.
