Curing Asthma With Chiropractic Care

Asthma is a very common complaint among people. But it is surprising that this disease has become very deadly taking several innocent lives. Since 1979, the deaths caused due to asthma have increased up to 58%. In fact asthma is one of the three deadly diseases identified in recent past. In the year 1998, an estimate given by Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has shown that nearly 6.4% of Americans are reported with asthma. What’s even more shocking is that the incidence of asthma has doubled in the last 20 years and most of the sufferers are children. Approximately 14 Americans die each day and nearly 17 million suffer from this disease making it most common and costliest illness in US.

A panel of doctors from the Michigan Chiropractic Council conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of chiropractic care on children suffering with asthma. Children with an average age of 10 years were selected for this study. As a part of the study, these doctors reduced medication to nearly 70% and substituted it to chiropractic care. After 30 days of treatment, it was observed that asthma attack rate was reduced from four attacks a to just one attack.

In another study that was conducted on 47 patients suffering with mild, moderate and severe asthma for a period of 2 years, remarkable improvement was observed. Not only the symptoms of the disease reduced but also usage of medication decreased drastically. This improvement in health condition was retained for more than 2 years. Gradually more than 70 chiropractors from 62 different cities conducted these studies on more than 80 children reported of asthma. Chiropractic care can be of immense help for asthmatic children.
