Abstract/Notes

Objective: Discuss the chiropractic management of a pediatric patient suffering from chronic constipation.

Clinical features: 10-year-old female with chronic constipation since the age of 3 without apparent cause. Bowel movement happens every 2 to 3 days with significant pain and large diameter stool. Current treatment consists of positive reinforcement, which has not been effective.

Intervention and outcomes: The patient received 4 full-spine diversified and Thompson adjustments over a period of one month. At the end of care, she had a daily bowel movement without pain and normal in size. Follow-up a year later revealed normal bowel habits.

Conclusion: This case suggests chiropractic care may be effective and safe for treating chronic constipation in pediatric patients.
