Chiropractic Care Linked to Reduction of Asthma Symptoms
A scienfitiic report in 2008 funded by the Australian Spinal Research Foundation suggests a link between chiropractic care and the reduction of symptoms experienced by asthma sufferers.
According to Macquarie University researcher Dr. Ray Hayek, the study involved hundreds of people with asthma symptoms across Australia .
“When an asthma sufferer is under the anxiety of a looming asthma attack, the levels of the hormone cortisol increase. This acute increase in cortisol through a number of mechanisms can bring on an asthma attack,” says Dr. Hayek. “Levels of the
stress hormone cortisol steadily decreased during the trial, and levels of immunological markers (immunoglobulin A) steadily rose.”
Apparently, reducing stress to the nervous system with chiropractic care reduces the
likelihood of asthma attacks. More proof that chiropractic care, because of its focus on the nervous system, may be helpful for a wide variety of health complaints.
