Chiropracrtic adjustments decrease severity of asthma symptoms

The September, 1995 issue of the Palmer Journal of Research reports on a case study where a patient's case of intrinsic asthma decreased in intensity after a series of Chiropractic adjustments. Intrinsic asthma has no known cause but is associated with allergens coming from within the body (as opposed to extrinsic causes from outside the body) such as bacteria or viruses in upper and lower respiratory infections. The 18 year-old patient in the study had a two year history of bronchial asthma; the onset of which coincided with trauma to the neck. Specific adjustments to the upper part of the neck were given and focus was on correction of spinal subluxation to restore proper nerve function to the organs of respiration. According to the study, there were marked improvements in the patient's health status with the greatest improvements reported in the weeks immediately following the adjustments. A previous pilot study reported similar reduction of severity results in the Journal of the Australian Chiropractic Association in 1986 [16(4):137-43]. Researchers found that asthma patients under chiropractic care experienced such a reduction of their symptoms that they were able to reduce their medication intake by an impressive 46.67%. . Vertebral Subluxation reduces your body's abilities to heal and repair itself. Chiropractic is the only Health Care profession that specifically deals with the correction of Vertebral Subluxation and its resulting interference to proper body function. These studies show that the correction of interference and restoration of proper nerve function allows the body to not only function better but maintain proper function with lifetime Wellness Care.
