How Chiropractic Can Assist Asthma

The prevalence of asthma in Australia is among the highest in the world: between 10% and 15% of children and between 10% and 12% of adults have asthma.

While clinical trials have not clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of chiropractic care for asthma, Chiropractors have anecdotally seen improvements in asthmatic patients for many years. A recent Case report published in the chiropractic journal of Australia noticed a substantial reduction is asthma symptoms after a trial of chiropractic care. This joins a growing number of case reports describing similar improvement in children.

Further research is needed to try and find ways to help ease the suffering of asthmatic children and adults that are currently reliant on medication to have any kind of lifestyle.
