Exploring chiropractic's impact on people with high belly fat.

Phase N/A

This study looks at how chiropractic care might help people with a lot of belly fat, also known as high central adiposity. This is important because too much belly fat can lead to problems like stress, trouble thinking clearly, and a weak immune system. Chiropractic care involves hands-on treatment to help the body heal itself. In this study, up to 20 people aged 18 to 65 who are obese (BMI of 30 or more and a large waist) will be involved. Participants will have their health checked in different ways, like measuring their height and weight, testing saliva for immune markers, and checking heart and breathing rates using special equipment. They will also do a short exercise on a treadmill and answer questions about their health. Participants will get chiropractic care for 6 weeks, with checks at the start, 2 weeks in, and at the end.

  • The study lasts for 6 weeks with 3 main assessments.
  • Participants must avoid certain activities (like caffeine) before visits.
  • Participants receive free chiropractic care during the study.

Before joining, make sure you meet the criteria (like BMI and age) and check if any conditions like heart problems or current pregnancy might exclude you from participating.
