Review: Chiropractic for gastrointestinal problems

JR

Are chiropractic treatments effective for gastrointestinal disorders?

Prof. Ernst has reviewed the evidence.

First, the details.

  • Clinical studies of any type of chiropractic treatment for any type of gastrointestinal problem, except infant colic, were included.
  • 2 studies were found and reviewed.

And, the results.

  • There is no supportive evidence that chiropractic is an effective treatment for gastrointestinal disorders.

The bottom line?

See above.
