Chiropractic and Asthma, Chiropractic and Asthma has proven to be an effective healing tool for over 100 years. When  an asthmatic attack occurs the bronchioles in the lungs become inflamed and can go into spasm. Sometimes this is initiated by emotional stress, physical activity or environmental pollutants. Through chiropractic adjustments  to the cervical and thoracic spine nerve communication to the lungs and bronchioles will help to lungs open and allow the respiratory system to work more effectively. In a study by Ressel O, Rudy R JVSR 2004 a statistical analysis of 650 children found a positive reaction to chiropractic treatments with those with a history of asthma. In an additional study by Graham RL, JVSR 1997 73 children showed significant improvement for asthma following chiropractic treatments. By contrast allopathic medicine has no cure for asthma and at best patients receive temporary relief with inhalers or bronchodilators that reduce inflammation inside the lungs. In previous years asthma was rarely a fatal disease but today asthma kills several thousand children each year.
