Whether we realize it or not, living in the Westchester County and Manhattan area is tough on our lungs, and on our bodies in general. It is believed that Westchester County residents are not breathing in the same toxic fumes that Manhattan residents are breathing in. However, given our close proximity to New York City, the levels of toxicity in the air are really not all that much lower, according to research. These toxic fumes can cause a host of health problems. Asthma is one of them. Spinal decompression can be reasonably effective in relieving the symptoms, effects and immune system deficiencies of asthma patients. Various tests conducted by chiropractors worldwide have shown that spinal decompression may reduce cortisol levels. High cortisol levels are linked to asthma. It has been found that the patients who underwent spinal manipulation showed recovery from symptoms of asthma, as well as anxiety and depression. What's more, these patients undergoing spinal decompression showed a rise in cortisol during the post treatment period, when the patients were no longer undergoing therapy. In a recent study, it was found that chiropractic management of 47 asthma cases showed significant improvement. After stabilizing the upper cervical spine, patients reported a significant reduction in asthma. Some patients showed an 87% to 100% improvement. The chiropractic management described here took between three and nine months. The progress of each patient was assessed by tracking the intensity of the symptoms and the frequency at which chiropractic care was utilized. The improvements in the patients were continued with follow-up care for two years. From the above facts, it is clear that chiropractic care can do a world of good for the patients of asthma. Spinal Decompression therapy, using a sophisticated decompression system like the SpineMED table, has emerged as the one of the most effective procedures in relieving the suffering caused by asthma. These findings are especially meaningful for Westchester County and Manhattan residents, who breath in an abnormally high level of toxins compared to other Americans.
