I’m sure we’ve all heard about asthma, but what is it exactly and how does it affect us? And more than that, how can we combat it?
Asthma is a condition of the lungs that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Symptoms can include wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. With how prevalent this condition has become, the questions have now become, “What can we do about asthmatic symptoms and bring about relief?” and “how can Chiropractic help do this?”
Let’s break it down! The respiratory system is actually directly linked to your spinal health. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system, and any dysfunction of the central nervous system can cause chaos in the body’s many systems, which includes the respiratory system.
Spinal misalignments are most often the root cause of disruption of the central nervous system and can exacerbate asthmatic symptoms. Gentle adjustments will help to remove misalignments, and in turn bring about relief.
IN FACT… studies have shown that chiropractic care can decrease breathing difficulties by almost 40%!
Not only can chiropractic care improve asthma, but it also increases immune system health to keep you from getting sick, which can drastically worsen asthma symptoms.
In one case study done by chiropractors, a 3-year-old boy suffered from asthma since birth and had multiple attacks many times a week. After just one month of consistent chiropractic care, he experienced a significant decrease in symptoms, and after following the plan laid out by his chiropractor, he experienced a total resolution. For many, chiropractic care has significantly reduced the need for inhaler use as chiropractic care makes breathing easier.
If you or your loved one has difficulty breathing due to asthma, chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and effective solution for managing symptoms, reducing symptoms, and opening up the airways to make it easier to breathe.
