| Abstract
|
| As a traditional Chinese massage technique,chiropractic therapy is widely used in treating multi-system diseases in both children and adults. The study systematically reviewed research in the chiropractic field since 1960. Through literature visualization analysis,five stages of chiropractic research were identified,showing significant growth in publication volume from initial stages to focused research. Studies have concentrated on the mechanisms and efficacy evaluation of chiropractic's effects on the nervous,immune,and digestive systems,with particular research focus on pediatric healthcare and immune function regulation in preterm infants. Chiropractic can treat various diseases independently or in combination,including multiple symptoms in both pediatric and adult populations. The paper further discusses the clinical applicable disease spectrum of chiropractic therapy,combined intervention measures,evolution of operational techniques,and progress in basic research. Results indicate that although chiropractic therapy currently lacks complete operational standards and efficacy evaluation systems,with the continuous expansion of its clinical advantages in treating various diseases,basic research has conducted more in-depth analysis of its mechanisms at the micro level,fully demonstrating the potential value of chiropractic therapy in treating various diseases. Particularly in pediatric healthcare and immune function regulation in preterm infants,it has gradually become a new research hotspot in pediatrics. Future development is expected to gradually achieve standardization and internationalization driven by scientific research. |
