How a Family Saved
$389 Per Month and
Got Rid of Their 2-Year-Old’s Asthma
Dr. Albert Comey
According to the Better Health & Medical Network,
asthma accounts for more childhood hospitalizations than any other childhood
disease. This is the story of one asthma
case that went in another direction.
K.R. came into our office with a complaint of
asthma. She had been diagnosed with
asthma at the age of 1 ˝ years and placed on various medications for
treatment. Over the next 12-15 months,
her symptoms slowly increased and as a result, her medications were
increased. There was no significant
improvement noted. Her mother was
spending approximately $389 per month in co-pays, office visits to her
pediatrician, and medications. This
figure did not factor in emergency visits, after hours visits, and emergency
medications.
K.R’s grandmother suggested she be evaluated by her
chiropractor to see if chiropractic care might help since the medications did
not seem to be solving her problem.
After a consultation and health history, a chiropractic examination was
performed. Among other findings, it was
noted that she had moderate spasms in the neck muscles. She had a pelvic deficiency on the right
side, causing a functional leg length deficiency of 3/8” on the right leg. X-rays of the upper cervical spine revealed a
misalignment of the Occiput/C1 and C1/C2 vertebrae.
A specific, low force Orthospinology correction was
given and the patient’s condition improved immediately. She was able to run around the office without
having to catch her breath. Congestion
began to release within minutes. She was
able to go camping over the weekend without any medication and without
incident. Her teachers at school also
saw an improvement in her concentration and behavior.
The fact of the matter is K.R. didn’t have asthma
because there was a lack of asthma medication in her body. Rather, her spine was misaligned in the
cervical area which has direct input to the breathing and respiratory
centers. These breathing centers were
receiving the wrong input due to the spinal misalignment. Upon correction of the misalignment, the true
cause of her symptoms was resolved. She
has been adjusted several times since her first adjustment and has not required
any medication or had any asthma in the last four months.
Now that the asthma is gone, her body is able to
function better, and her developing kidneys and liver no longer have to filter toxic
asthma medications. This will save a
tremendous amount of wear on her body, not to mention a considerable amount of
money for her family.
A letter from K.R.’s mother:
“K.R. was on
alot of meds and always sick. My mother-in-law kept seeing news about how
going to a chiropractor could maybe improve asthma, so after a month we gave it
a shot and now she is a whole new kid! It is October now and this time
last year she was on six meds and her nebulizer all the time because she could
not breathe correctly. And this year since getting adjusted, she has not
had any meds for asthma. She can run all day at school and her teacher no
longer has to worry about sitting her for coughing or to catch her breath and
rest! I am amazed at what a difference it has made in my daughter's life
and now I know how I would do it again and again because it is amazing.
K.R. is now three and loves to see Dr. Al and I would tell anyone who has
asthma to give it a shot because it can make a whole new person! What a
difference you have made in my daughter's life!
