The Amazing Link Between Allergies and Chiropractic
I once had a patie
nt named Dondra who had allergies. But her allergies were more than just typical pollen reactions. She was also allergic to hay and green beans. As bizarre as it sounds, her adult version was unable to experience two very diverse things that she enjoyed during her childhood: horseback riding and eating green beans.
Almost six months after starting Chiropractic care in our office she was invited to go horseback riding. She was hesitant at first but thought that maybe Chiropractic was making a difference and wanted to put it to the test. So she loaded up with Sudafed spray in her pocket and saddled up. True to the power of Chiropractic, she endured no sneezing and no drug use. We see this all the time in a Chiropractic office. A few days later Dondra tested herself again by eating green beans. Sure enough, no problems!
Many people across the world experience the immune-boosting benefits of Chiropractic.
Chiropractic adjustments do not treat allergies or the immune system. They remove interference to the nervous system to allow the body to function and fight like it was designed to do.
A study published in 2004 showed amazing immune-boosting results for a group that started getting spinal adjustments.
In this particular study, 1,028 people had some form of allergies (the most common was atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma). X-Ray evidence and physical exams proved that 98% of these allergy patients had remarkably similar vertebral misalignments in their mid-back. Over 88% of the people with dermatitis who received consistent spinal adjustments showed massive improvement in skin itching and over 71% showed improvement in overall skin condition. Compare that to 0% improvement of the patients who did not receive adjustments.
This conclusion comes directly from the study:
We can state that a treatment that cannot fundamentally treat spinal problems will not fundamentally improve conditions such as atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, pollinosis, and allergic coryza.
This study is just another profoun
d example showing how detrimental a vertebral subluxation is to human health. The problem continues to be a lack of education. People who do not know the scientific evidence continue to believe the profiteering message of pharmaceutical companies. All allergy drugs are dangerous and proven to produce nasty side-effects. Chiropractic evidence proves that the solution to most allergy problems already exists within the body.
Remove the interference and people like Dondra are given the freedom to heal without drugs and chemicals.
Society desperately needs to understand and receive the life-changing benefits of Chiropractic.
