Asthma

Asthma is a common disease that causes chest tightness, coughing, difficulty breathing, and wheezing. It can impact a person’s quality of life, especially when they experience an asthma attack. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 1 in 12 people have asthma, and many asthma attacks among them can be prevented.

Individuals with asthma experience their symptoms at different times, with things like the poor air quality and allergens worsening their symptoms or triggering an asthma attack. Even exercise and weather can be an asthma trigger. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we provide chiropractic care for treating asthma in order to help patients find some relief from their symptoms.

When a patient has chronic asthma, his or her muscles surrounding their airways are inflamed and constricted. This inflammation and narrowing of the airways causes the tell-tale asthma symptoms of chest tightness, coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing.

But when the vertebrae is properly aligned through treatments like chiropractic adjustments and manipulations, we have found that the muscles in the bronchial that cause asthma symptoms can show improved functioning. Relaxation techniques, including acupuncture, breathing exercises, and massage can also be helpful.
