There is an intimate connection between the spine, the nervous system and the breathing apparatus

Asthma Case Study:

A 34-month-old boy with asthma and nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting) had not responded to medical care. More than 20 emergency visits to the hospital had taken place for the asthma attacks during a 12-month period. Three chiropractic adjustments were administered over an 11-day period, and the asthma symptoms and bedwetting ceased for more than eight weeks.

The asthma and bedwetting recurred following a minor fall from a step ladder, but disappeared after adjustments.

After a two-year follow up, the mother reports no recurrence of the asthma or the bedwetting.

The Spine and Breathing

There is an intimate connection between the spine, the nervous system and the breathing apparatus. The osteopathic writer Stoddard has observed, ”In asthma, the mechanical factor (spinal subluxation) may be so important that, until the mechanics are put right, the symptoms will persist.”

At Family Back & Neck Care Centre, we want to remind you that there is an alternative to conventional and sometimes dangerous medical bronchodilators, expectorants and corticosteroids. Those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema or other chronic lung conditions need to ensure their lungs and bronchi are receiving uninterrupted nerve communication from their spines.

Chiropractic is the only healing art that can free people from vertebral subluxations and, in many cases, from a lifetime of taking drugs for their “incurable” conditions.

Remember, this month’s Theme of the Month is Breathing Problems. This month, all of your friends, co-workers and family members who are battling with Breathing Problems are entitled to an initial subluxation check-up. Be sure to speak to a member of our team to get your “New Patient Welcome Packet” that you can give to the friend, co-worker or family member that you have in mind.

For Family Wellness,

Dr. Charles Maurer
