57 Crohn’s disease patients
were divided into two groups. The first group of 17 received
chiropractic care and the remaining 34 who received no chiropractic
care served as a control group. Six patients were excluded
from the study.
All patients continued taking whatever medications
they had been taking prior to the study.
Of the 17 patients
receiving spinal adjustments, 12 showed long-term remission
of symptoms and 9 experienced an alleviation effect. From the
paper: “We found that vertebral subluxation
is a common and characteristic finding in patients with allergies
and Crohn's disease.”
