Resolution of Asthma symptoms and Improvements in Gait Parameters in a pediatric patient with Sever’s Disease receiving Chiropractic care: A case report
A ChiroSecure Research Update
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the positive outcomes obtained with a multimodal program of chiropractic care in a pediatric patient who suffered from asthma and Sever’s disease.
Discussion: A 9-year-old male patient was brought into a chiropractic clinic by his parents looking for a second opinion for a diagnosis of bilateral Sever’s disease. During the examination, it was found that he also suffered from asthma. The patient received 17 chiropractic adjustments in a span of two months, averaging a frequency of twice per week, and then was re-evaluated. Improvements were observed in the severity of foot pain, objective gait parameters, and asthma symptoms.
Conclusion: The results of this case study provide evidence that a multimodal program of chiropractic care can improve foot pain related to Sever’s disease, gait parameters, and asthma in pediatric patients. More research with a more robust design is necessary currently to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between chiropractic care and the conditions above mentioned.
