Breathe Easy- Asthma and Chiropractic
Posted on 2012-01-19 08:56:43
Asthma effects 4.8 million American children , with 60 deaths every year. Asthma accounts for more childhood hospitalizations than any other childhood disease. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.Therefore, if your neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in your nervous system function.

Case Studies:
The patient had been diagnosed with asthma three years prior to presentation. BecloventT and Albyterol T were used one to three times per day. After eight chiropractic adjustments over a period of 2 ˝ weeks, the mother stated that the child had not used her inhaler for two days, her wheezing had ceased and she could run without gasping. At the time of the publication of this article, the child has been free of asthmatic attacks for four months without medication.

Case review of a 6-year-old boy who has had asthma since 1991 and his condition since chiropractic intervention. Child was prescribed aerosol inhalers (Beclovert and Vertolin) using them every day, up to three times a day. Adjustments were delivered to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar areas. Significant progress. Could run during soccer games and "almost never used his inhaler." Slept more soundly. "Hardly ever had bouts with mucous clogged nasal passages." Nasal inhalant use stopped.

"Since birth she had problems with her respiratory system...clinical diagnosis of asthma. She had shortness of breath, hard and labored breathing, inability to run from shortness of breath...had become reliant on antibiotics for constant respiratory infections...had taken lots of steroidal drugs. This 'conventional' drug therapy had not prevented her from spending every Christmas in the hospital on a breathing machine. "A complete chiropractic examination revealed vertebral subluxation of the atlas right, sixth cervical posterior, and right posterior sacrum. Specific chiropractic adjustment were given...patient responded to the care immediately and was able to suspend using the drugs within two weeks. Within two months, she was able to play with her friends with no symtomatology. Her 5th Christmas was the first at home in her life...I wonder if her asthma should have been diagnosed as SUBLUXATION. What would have happened to her if over the last two years she had been on steroids rather than chiropractic care?"

A Chiropractor's Education
Posted on 2010-06-28 12:35:27
I often get asked how long it takes to become a chiropractor. In order to be accepted into a doctorate program for chiropractic, you must first complete a 4 year degree with specific prerequisites.
Here is a comparison of the classroom hours between chiropractic and medicine:

Your immune system keeps you 100% you! It seeks out and destroys anything that is not supposed to be in you ; viri, bacteria, pollutants, dust, POLLEN, drugs, dead cells, etc..
A healthy immune system does not overreact to the allergens in the environment .
Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.
Therefore, if your neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This upper cervical spinal joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. For example; many asthma and allergy sufferers experienced traumas such as head injuries, auto accidents, or falls which could have injured their upper cervical spines. The good news is that we can perform an examination to determine if chiropractic care can reduce your allergic and asthmatic reactions. Schedule an appointment today!
I suffered from severe allergies as a child and received hundreds of allergy shots growing up. The difference in the way my body handles seasonal allergies is dramatic since receiving chiropractic care, and is one of the major reasons I chose and love my profession.
