The purpose of this study was to provide a narrative review of the literature of studies describing the management of disorders of the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract using 'chiropractic therapy' broadly defined here as spinal manipulation therapy, mobilizations, soft tissue therapy, modalities and stretches. Search limiters include access to full text studies published between 1980 and November 2012 in peer-reviewed journals, English language only involving human subjects. Twenty-one articles were found that met our inclusion criteria. Retrievable articles varied from case reports to clinical trials to review articles of management options. The majority of articles chronicling patient experiences under chiropractic care reported they demonstrated mild to moderate improvements in presenting symptoms. No adverse side effects were reported. This suggests chiropractic care can be considered as an adjunctive therapy for patients with various GI conditions providing there are no co-morbidities.
本研究的目的是对一系列研究文献进行叙述性综述，这些研究描述了使用“整脊疗法”来管理胃肠道（GI）疾病，这里宽泛地将其定义为脊柱推拿疗法、松动术、软组织疗法、物理治疗方式及伸展运动。检索限制包括获取1980年至2012年11月间发表在同行评审期刊上的全文研究，仅限英文且涉及人类受试者。共找到21篇符合我们纳入标准的文章。可检索到的文章涵盖从病例报告到临床试验，再到管理选项的综述文章。大多数记录整脊治疗下患者经历的文章报告称，患者的现有症状有轻度至中度改善。未报告有不良副作用。这表明，对于患有各种胃肠道疾病且无合并症的患者，整脊治疗可被视为一种辅助疗法。
