Asthma cases seem to be rising at an alarming rate. Some think it’s due to a combination of factors, especially the increase of chemicals in our environment. These days, airtight, super-insulated homes can trap chemicals, molds, formaldehyde and other irritants. Even the increasing use of vaccinations, caesarean births, antibiotics and our fascination with germ killing have been cited.
If these factors were the only issue, why wouldn’t all children living in the same house and breathing the same air, suffer equally?
Eighty one children who all underwent chiropractic care took part in this impairment rating analysis of asthmatic children. The children were assessed using an asthma impairment questionnaire before chiropractic care commenced. They were then reassessed using the same questionnaire two months after the chiropractic care had begun.
There was significantly lower impairment rating scores (i.e. an improvement) were reported for 90.1% of subjects 60 days after chiropractic care when compared to their pre-chiropractic scores.
In addition, 30.9% of the children voluntarily decreased their dosage of medication by an average of 66.5% while under chiropractic care.
Twenty four of the patients who reported asthma attacks thirty days prior to the study reported a significant decrease in the number of attacks, a decrease on average of 44.9%.
