Asthma Relief with Chiropractic

Relief from Asthma with Chiropractic Care in Prescott

Asthma is a serious worry for many people in Prescott and for a society as a whole, since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that this condition currently affects almost 19 million adults and 7 million kids in the United States. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a emergency room visit. Fortunately, Weary Chiropractic Clinic has helped many folks in Prescott get relief from asthma symptoms.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Asthma

The scientific literature confirms what we see in our office. For instance, a paper published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy evaluated 31 adult asthma patients after getting four weeks of chiropractic therapy. The authors found that the individuals who received chiropractic treatment had a 34 percent decrease in asthma symptoms.

The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics printed another asthma-based study, except this one involved kids. In this paper, the 36 participants ranged from 6 to 17 years old and their asthma was considered either mild or moderate in severity.

After 12 weeks of chiropractic adjustments, as a whole, the patients reported a higher quality of life and a diminished level of severity. As a bonus, they also reported that they relied less on their bronchodilator and these positive effects lasted one year after chiropractic care was complete.
