Study Summary

This trialwill explore if chiropractic care can help the immune system. Sample size will be small, but with a rigorous design.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-70 who are non-smokers, have a misaligned spine (vertebral subluxation), can fast for 10-12 hours, and haven't been sick in the last three weeks. People with conditions that make spinal manipulation unsafe—like ligament damage, low bone density, or excessive scoliotic curvature—or those who've had chiropractic care in the past six months cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a full spine corrective protocol through chiropractic care affects immune cell function. Participants will receive 36 sessions over 9-12 weeks. The trial randomly assigns people to either get this treatment or be on a waiting list as a control group to compare results.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include temporary discomfort or soreness at the site of adjustment, headaches, fatigue after sessions and rarely more serious complications related to high velocity thrusts applied during spinal manipulations.
