Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Chuna manipulation	Chuna is a Korean spinal manipulation that incorporates spinal manipulation techniques for joint mobilization involving high-velocity, low amplitude thrusts to joints slightly beyond the passive range of motion and gentle force to joints within the passive range of movement. Chuna manipulation will be administered to pelvic, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical vertebrae at the physician's discretion.
DRUG	Herbal medicine	Herbal medicine will be administered in water-based decoction (120ml) and dried powder (2g) form (Ostericum koreanum, Eucommia ulmoides, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, Achyranthes japonica, Psoralea corylifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Cibotium barometz, Lycium chinense, Boschniakia rossica, Cuscuta chinensis, Glycine max, Atractylodes japonica).
PROCEDURE	Bee venom pharmacopuncture	Bee venom pharmacopuncture will be administered only after confirming a negative response to hypersensitivity skin test. Diluted bee venom (saline:bee venom ratio, 10,000:1) filtered for allergens will be injected at 4-5 acupoints proximal to the dysfunctional site at the physician's discretion. Each acupuncture point will be injected to a total of 0.5-1 cc using disposable injection needles (CPL, 1 cc, 26G x 1.5 syringe, Shinchang medical co., Korea).
PROCEDURE	Pharmacopuncture	Pharmacopuncture consisting of select herbal ingredients will be administered at Hyeopcheok (Huatuo Jiaji, EX B2), Ah-shi points and local acupuncture points using disposable injection needles (CPL, 1 cc, 26G x 1.5 syringe, Shinchang medical co., Korea).
