"Asthma is a chronic lung disease with inflammation and or obstruction of the airways from the nose and mouth to the lungs."
" 4 million children under the age of 18 suffer with asthma."
" In the 5-17 age group, asthma causes an annual loss of more than 10 million school days per year."
" Asthma accounts for more childhood hospitalizations than any other childhood disease."
" Children with asthma spend approximately 7.3 million days per year restricted to bed rest."
" In 1990, there were 7.1 million physician visits for asthma."
" Health care costs for asthma were estimated to be $6.2 billion, which is almost 1% of the total US health care costs."

With the above statistics, you can see the seriousness of this condition, and the toll its taking on our children's lives If you have ever seen a child struggle for breath because of asthma, you can agree it is a frightening experience for both the child and observer. The helpless feeling causes parents to seek out treatments to relieve the symptoms and establish a somewhat normal lifestyle for their child. At some point, most parents become uneasy with the constant drug intake and are continuously looking for ways to regain normalcy for their child. As Doctors of Chiropractic our premise leads us to restoring optimal function of the nervous system, resulting in improved function for all body systems. Seeing the children coming into our office who have suffered with chronic asthma for years and seeing them began the process of regeneration with chiropractic adjustments and are now living healthier, drug-free lives.

As experience has shown us, many medical studies (especially those evaluating new drugs) are often funded by drug manufacturers or other financially interested businesses. Needless to say, these multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies do not support research if it doesn't show drugs to be beneficial.

 Chiropractic is a drug free way to restore the bodies natural ability to treat itself. Call our office today for a consultation to see how chiropractic can benefit your child!
