RCC Research Bulletin: Spinal manipulation and the immune system

A new RCC research bulletin, available here, explains that:

• There are no clinical trials of the effectiveness of SMT on enhancing immunity to infectious diseases
• A few published studies report cellular/molecular responses to SMT in vitro, however these are contradictory and offer no evidence of an overall likely pro-immune, clinically-relevant effect in patients
• There has been no systematic appraisal of the quality of the studies in this field
• There is no evidence enabling claims to be made for effectiveness of spinal manipulation on immunity
