According to Wikipedia the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics or JMPT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Manipulative_and_Physiological_Therapeutics is “the official scientific journal of the American Chiropractic Association and is the only chiropractic journal included in Index Medicus. Published by Mosby (Elsevier Health Sciences), the journal includes peer-reviewed original articles, case reports, journal abstracts, commentary, and new media reviews. The editorial board includes clinical low-back and spine researchers from medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, and post-secondary education.”

JMPT addressed the question of Chiropractic and asthma in children. If you are a parent this is where the rubber meets the road. Please review the full atricle and explore all the links at http://www.chiro.org/pediatrics/ABSTRACTS/Chronic_Pediatric_Asthma.shtml. The conclusions:

“After 3 months of combining chiropractic SMT with optimal medical management for pediatric asthma, the children rated their quality of life substantially higher and their asthma severity substantially lower.” “ Further research is needed to assess which components of the chiropractic encounter are responsible for important improvements in patient-oriented outcomes so that they may be incorporated into the care of all asthmatic patients.”
