Summary

This small pilot study looked at whether chiropractic care could help people with abdominal obesity (belly fat) by reducing stress, improving thinking, and supporting the immune system. 18 adults with a BMI of 30 or higher and a large waistline took part. The main goal was to see if the study procedures were practical and acceptable, not to prove chiropractic works for weight loss.
