This treatment is known to relieve pain and improve musculoskeletal disfunctions. However, there has been no specific studies for the effect of this treatment. So, investigators conduct a randomized controlled trials to verify the effectiveness and safety of T-MSAT. From September 2020 to March 2021, investigators recruit 100 inpatients who are suffered from acute low-back pain with the numeric rating scale(NRS) over 5 by traffic accident(TA). For experimental group(n=50), investigators conduct T-MSAT three times(on 2nd, 3rd and 4th day of hospitalization) and other Korean medical treatment. For control group(n=50), just Korean medical treatment except T-MSAT is conducted. For these two groups, investigators compare NRS(Numeric Rating Scale), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Range Of Motion(ROM), , Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-12), and PTSD Checklist for DSM(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM)-5(PCL-5)
