Chiropractic Provides Asthma Relief in Jonesboro

Asthma is a serious worry for many people in Jonesboro 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 United States. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a emergency room visit. Luckily, Dr. Alpert has helped many people in Jonesboro get relief from asthma symptoms.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Asthma

The medical literature confirms what we see in our practice. For instance, a paper published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy evaluated 31 adult asthma patients after receiving four weeks of chiropractic treatment. The authors found that the individuals who received chiropractic therapy had a 34% decrease in asthma symptoms.

The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics printed another asthma-based study, except this one involved children. In this report, the 36 participants ranged from 6 to 17 years old and their asthma was regarded as either mild or moderate in severity.

After 12 weeks of chiropractic care, as a whole, the patients reported a higher quality of life and a reduced level of severity. As a bonus, they also reported that they depended less on their bronchodilator and these positive effects lasted one year after chiropractic care was complete.
