RESUMEN
A 34-year-old male with a 9+ year history of right sided abdominal pain, associated diarrhea and a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome was referred for physical therapy and chiropractic care at a multidisciplinary primary care clinic. Multiple evaluations by various providers resulted in multiple tests and numerous medications without substantial relief in symptoms. Five physical therapy visits and three sessions of chiropractic care resulted in 90% improvement in subjective pain report and 60-70% reduction in diarrhea frequency. At a 6 month follow up phone visit, his symptoms had continued to decrease. While limited as a case study, this report may illustrate a potential somatovisceral relationship and subsequent reduction in gastrointestinal symptoms that can be addressed with conservative care.
