Asthma Relief with Chiropractic Adjustments in Kettering
Asthma is a significant concern for many people in Kettering and for a society as a whole, since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that this problem currently affects almost 19 million adults and 7 million children in the US. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a hospital visit. Luckily, Dr. Poelking has helped many men and women in Kettering get support from asthma symptoms.
Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Asthma
The medical literature confirms what we see in our clinic. For instance, a paper published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy evaluated 31 adult asthma patients after receiving four weeks of chiropractic therapy. The researchers reported that the participants who received chiropractic adjustments had a 34 percent decrease in asthma symptoms.
The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published another asthma-based study, except this one involved children. In this article, 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, as a whole, the children reported a higher quality of life and a decreased level of severity. As a bonus, they also indicated that they relied less on their bronchodilator and these positive effects lasted one year after chiropractic care was complete.
