Objective: To discuss observations of the effects of chiropractic care on asthma symptomology in a four-year-old female patient over a period of three years.

Clinical features: A four-year-old female was diagnosed with asthma at 21/2 years of age. Treatment consisted of utilization of a humidifier and Ventalin inhaler. By the time the patient was 31/2 years old. the Ventalin inhaler was not controlling her symptoms. The patient was taken to a hospital emergency room and after one dose of nebulizer her symptoms were relieved. Approximately one year later the nebulizer was no longer effective and the patient was nearly hospitalised. The patient sought chiropractic care in March 1996 just prior to her fifth birthday.
