A clinical observation of irritable bowel syndrome treated by traditional Chinese spinal orthopedic manipulation

The displacement of inter-vertebral disks and/or vertebra in the thoracic or lumbar region seems to be a contributing factor in the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Thumb pressing manipulation on jiaji points in the thoracic and/or lumbar region can correct the displacement of inter-vertebral disks and/or vertebra, resolving the stimuli caused by pressure exerted on the nerves and vessels around the spine. So it is an effective treatment for IBS.
