Chiropractic Provides Asthma Relief

Posted on December 7th, 2020 by Dr. John Nowak

South Buffalo asthma care with chiropracticAsthma is a huge worry 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 problem currently affects almost 19 million adults and 7 million children in the US. A full-blown asthma attack likely means a emergency room visit. Thankfully, Dr. Nowak has helped many people in South Buffalo get relief from asthma symptoms.

Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Asthma

The medical literature verifies what we see in our practice. For instance, a study published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy assessed 31 adult asthma patients after receiving four weeks of chiropractic treatments. The authors reported 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 children. In this article, the 36 patients ranged from 6 to 17 years in age and their asthma was considered either mild or moderate in severity.

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

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.
