CESAREAN SECTION LINKED TO ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES

Research reported in the October, 2000 issue of the Journal of Asthma finds that children born through special medical procedures as a result of obstetric complications have a higher incidence of asthma and allergic disorders later in life.

The study, performed at the Imperial College School of Medicine in London, England, followed 8088 Finnish children from birth to the age of 7. The researchers found that babies whose birth involved the use of cesarean section or forceps were at a greater risk for developing asthma and allergies.

A previous study hints that the mechanism most likely involved is damage to the babies’ brain stem or spinal cord from the trauma of the interventions which is known as Traumatic Birth Syndrome (TBS).  According to a literature review in the October, 1993 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics cases of TBS are going unreported and as a result, undertreated. The report goes on to say that manual treatment (such as Chiropractic care) would be beneficial to patients suffering from TBS related injuries.

By way of commentary, all babies need to have their spines checked as soon after birth as possible to prevent future health problems from surfacing. Even a “normal” birth can cause tremendous stresses on the fragile spines of infants. Chiropractors are uniquely qualified to detect and correct the spinal damage that occurs in TBS.
