If you suffer from asthma, you know how debilitating asthma attacks can be. When asthma hits, your main objective is to find relief. At French Chiropractic, we offer chiropractic treatment for asthma relief. These FAQs from our Clarksville and Erin chiropractor explain more about this condition and how chiropractic helps provide relief.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can make it difficult for you to breathe. It causes your bronchial tubes to swell, blocking off airflow in and out of your lungs. This results in breathlessness and wheezing.
What can trigger an asthma attack?
Various factors can contribute to asthma attacks to include genetics, smoking (or being around a smoker), allergies, colds, flu, and exposure to pollen, dust, gas fumes, or chemicals. Physical activity may trigger an attack, although some people have asthma attacks when sleeping.
How does chiropractic help with asthma?
Chiropractic care isn’t a cure for asthma, but it can manage attacks to reduce your dependence on inhalers for treatment. Chiropractic asthma treatment involves proper alignment of your thoracic spine. If your thoracic spine isn’t aligned properly, it can affect your range of motion and mobility. This includes expansion of your lungs for breathing. By adjusting your thoracic spine, our chiropractor can restore range of motion and improve air flow into your lungs so you can breathe more freely.
What are the benefits of chiropractic care for asthma?
Chiropractic treatments are safe, non-invasive, and drug-free, reducing your dependence on medications for asthma treatment. Through routine chiropractic visits, our chiropractor can help maintain your system in proper alignment, improving overall body function long-term. This enables you to enjoy maximum range of motion, mobility, and flexibility. We can also recommend dietary or lifestyle changes that can help reduce asthma attacks and enable you to live a higher quality of life.
