• Study:
Eighty
one children under chiropractic care took part in this self-reported
asthma related impairment study. The children were assessed before
and two months after chiropractic care using an asthma impairment
questionnaire.
• Results
Significantly improved impairment rating scores
were reported for 90.1% of subjects 60 days after chiropractic
care in comparison 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.
• Asthma Attacks
Twenty four
of the patients who reported asthma attacks 30-days prior to the
study had significantly decreased attacks by an average of 44.9%.
Six different chiropractic techniques were used by the different
chiropractors who participated in this study.
