Abstract：
BACKGROUND: This case report aims to provide clinical evidence on the effectiveness of integrating chiropractic and moxibustion techniques for treating pseudomyopia accompanied by elevated intraocular pressure resulting from cervical spine issues because the application of complementary medicine modalities for managing such vision disorders currently lacks adequate investigations.
METHODS: A 6-year-old patient presented with blurred vision, intermittent ocular discomfort, and upper cervical discomfort.
METHODS: Spine-related increased intraocular pressure and pseudomyopia.
METHODS: The patient received integrative treatment of chiropractic and walnut-shell moxibustion 3 times a week for a total of 10 treatment sessions.
RESULTS: The patient exhibited progressive improvements in visual acuity and reductions in intraocular pressure over the treatment period, with unaided vision exceeding 2 lines of improvement in visual acuity charts and normalized intraocular pressure after 10 treatment sessions. These therapeutic effects were sustained at 3-month follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: The integrative use of chiropractic and walnut-shell moxibustion demonstrates considerable potential in alleviating symptoms of pseudomyopia, reducing intraocular pressure, and restoring visual function in spine-related pseudomyopia cases.

摘要：
背景：本病例报告旨在提供临床证据，证明整脊疗法和艾灸技术治疗由颈椎问题引起的眼内压升高的假性近视的有效性，因为目前应用补充医学方法治疗此类视力障碍缺乏足够的研究。
方法：一名6岁患者出现视力模糊，间歇性眼部不适，和上颈椎不适。
方法：脊柱相关的眼压升高和假性近视。
方法：患者接受整脊和核桃壳灸的综合治疗，每周3次，共10次。
结果：患者在治疗期间视力逐渐改善，眼压降低，10次治疗后，裸眼视力超过2行视力图改善，眼内压恢复正常。这些治疗效果在3个月的随访中持续。
结论：整脊疗法和核桃壳灸的综合使用在减轻假性近视症状方面显示出相当大的潜力，降低眼内压，恢复脊柱相关假性近视病例的视觉功能。
