The Michigan Chiropractic Council performed a study to test the effectiveness of chiropractic care on children with asthma. The authors of the study found overwhelming interest in the study. More than 500 parents called the MCC seeking to get their child involved in the chiropractic study.

The study, examined the chiropractic effectiveness in dealing with asthma in patients from birth to age 17. The average age of the participant was 10 years.  “After 30 days of chiropractic health care, patients averaged only one attack, whereas prior to the study they were experiencing more than four attacks,” said MCC Dr. Bob Graham, who directed the study.  “Medications were decreased by nearly 70 percent. Finally, patient satisfaction was rated 8.5 on a scale of 10.”  More than 70 chiropractors from 62 cities in Michigan studied more than 80 children suffering from asthma.
