The Major Signs Of Asthma And Chiropractic Care

 Asthma is defined as a chronic disease characterized by repetitive episodes of breathlessness and wheezing. The frequency and severity are dependent upon each individual. Some people may suffer from attacks at any time, while others experience them situationally, such as after exposure to certain allergens or after strenuous exercise.


 



The Centers for Disease Control reports that asthma affects about every 1 in 13 individuals. Asthma is also the leading cause for chronic disease in children, and is one of the top reasons for school absences. Asthma causes over 2 million emergency room visits per year, and the average stay for over night hospital stays is over three days. When so many people are suffering from asthma, the chances are high that you or someone you know suffers from asthma.  A person who suffers from asthma can enjoy multiple benefits from chiropractic.




There are 3 signs of asthma:



Airway blockage.


When you breathe as usual, the bands of muscle around your airways are relaxed, and air moves freely. But when you have asthma, the muscles tighten. It’s harder for air to pass through.




 


Inflammation.


Asthma causes red, swollen bronchial tubes in your lungs. This inflammation can damage your lungs. Treating this is key to managing asthma in the long run.



 


Airway irritability.


People with asthma have sensitive airways that tend to overreact and narrow when they come into contact with even slight triggers.





Chiropractic Treatment For Asthma Patients

 


Misalignments of the spine can affect the function of the central nervous system and cause nerve interference. Without proper nerve communication, the body isn’t able to function at optimal levels which can lead to health problems, including respiratory issues like asthma. Gentle chiropractic for asthma adjustments can remove misalignments and restore proper nerve function. This in turn greatly reduces other health concerns and can even alleviate problems such as asthma.






Additionally, regular chiropractic visits can boost the immune system which will decrease chances of colds or respiratory infections that can exacerbate asthma attacks, proving that the benefits of chiropractic are indeed vast.


 




Studies have shown that chiropractic is extremely beneficial for those who suffer from asthma symptoms. In one study, a 4-year-old boy had been under chiropractic care for just one month and saw significant improvements in his asthma symptoms. Another study found that an 19-year-old boy with spinal subluxations had a decrease in symptoms after chiropractic adjustments to remove subluxations. If you are tired of living life around your asthma, contact a chiropractor near you to learn how chiropractic can improve your overall health and quality of life.
