Asthma Relief with Chiropractic

Posted on February 18th, 2019 by Dr. John Nowak

South Buffalo asthma care with chiropracticAsthma is a significant issue for many people in South Buffalo and for a society as a whole, since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that this condition currently affects almost 19 million adults and 7 million kids in the United States. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a emergency room visit. Fortunately, Dr. John Nowak has helped many folks in South Buffalo get relief from asthma symptoms.

Research Shows Chiropractic Helps With Asthma

The medical research verifies what we see in our practice. For instance, a paper published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy assessed 31 adult asthma patients after receiving four weeks of chiropractic adjustments. The researchers found that the individuals who received chiropractic adjustments had a 34% decrease in asthma symptoms.

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

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

I was born and raised in Buffalo. I went to St. Bernard's grammar school, South Park High School, and Erie Community College. I decided to further my studies and went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa, and graduated with honors. Even though I was going to college in Iowa, my heart was always with the intention of going back to Buffalo to practice chiropractic. I started as a chiropractor in Buffalo 1981.
