Alternative To Pain Management
There is little research done on the chiropractic adjustment Back Pain Breakthrough Review and how it affects an asthmatic. One of the reasons for this is that giving people mock adjustments is very difficult to do. It has been shown that people may get better just by using touch alone as opposed to a chiropractic adjustment. This can be a reason why the double blind study results are a little different in these studies. All of the papers read for this paper were peer-reviewed journals. The results from eight studies indicate that chiropractic care showed improvements in subjective measures, and to a lesser degree, objective findings.
The author will explain that it is not the intent of this paper to say that either the chiropractic adjustment or the nutritional support will replace rescue medication for asthma. That being said, the reader must understand that in all of the studies asthmatics were being treated with medication and had chiropractic adjustments added to the treatment. The focus of this paper is to study how patients' symptoms are affected by chiropractic, not the overall lung function. This does not mean that lung function was not assessed.
One must understand that when a patient is already taking B-agonist medication, the lungs are functioning as well as they can. The chiropractic adjustment is used to reduce the inflammatory process and increase the movement of the thoracic spine which will increase the movements of the ribs. This will make it easier for the patient to breathe. This is why most of these patients claim subjective relief versus objective relief. These studies were subjected to a checklist called the Down's and Black checklist. This checklist is used to measure the quality of the studies that met the selection criteria assessed by the authors using a 27-item scoring checklist. The scoring checklist is considered valid and reliable for assessing randomized and nonrandomized studies. The system was modified to allow the scoring of nonrandomized studies.
Much of the back pain people feel today can be attributed to a sedentary lifestyle. While sitting in a chair for prolonged periods of time is customary today, it is an unnatural position for the body to assume. The result is often tight lower back muscles and hamstrings, weak gluteus muscles in the buttocks, and pain throughout these areas.
