Chiropractic Provides Asthma Relief

Asthma is a serious concern for many people in Buffalo 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 US. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a hospital visit. Luckily, Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C. has helped many people in Buffalo get support from asthma symptoms.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Asthma

The scientific research confirms what we see in our clinic. For example, a study published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy assessed 31 adult asthma patients after receiving four weeks of chiropractic treatment. The researchers reported that the participants who received chiropractic treatment had a 34% 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 kids 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 children reported a higher quality of life and a lower 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 finished.
