National Asthma and Allergy Month Awareness

While summertime is a happy time for most people, it can cause many problems for people with asthma and allergies. So this month, take the time to educate yourself, your friends, and your family about asthma and promote awareness about how this severe, sometimes life-threatening, chronic respiratory disease can be controlled.

Chiropractic care doesn’t immediately treat asthma and allergies. However, people living with these ailments say that continuous chiropractic care can help to reduce symptoms and improve their lifestyles.

Research suggests a link between the spinal column, the nervous system, and the respiratory system. This is why it makes sense that most chiropractic patients seeking treatment for asthma experience improved breathing through chiropractic care.

How does it work?

Your diaphragm is your primary breathing muscle, and the nerves that control each breath leave your brain and exit via the spinal cord.

Spinal problems in this area can impact the nerve supply to your diaphragm. Meaning reduced or eliminating subluxations (spinal misalignments) in the spine may help restore proper nervous system function allowing for improved functioning in your lungs and diaphragm, which results in easier breathing for patients.
