Asthma Help
Asthma: Who is affected?
Asthma, a disorder marked by airflow obstruction due to inflammation and/or hyperactivity of the small muscles encircling the airways, presents itself through bronchial tube constriction. According to CDC data, approximately 8.4% of the United States population, roughly 25.7 million individuals, experiences the grasp of asthma.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Symptoms encompass chest tightness and discomfort, persistent coughing, and wheezing—often incited by exercise, infections, or environmental irritants like smoke, pollen, or chemicals.
Since coming for chiropractic care, I have seen remarkable improvement.
Other doctors had treated me with minimal results.
The Medical Approach
Diverse medical treatments address various aspects of asthma:
- Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB): Staying active and proper warm-up can mitigate EIB effects. Inhaled corticosteroids with beta2 agonists are usually reserved for emergencies.
- Allergic Asthma: Common in individuals with familial allergy history. Treatment involves inhaled steroids, bronchodilators, and immunoreactivity-reducing injectables.
- Childhood asthma: Early-onset asthma in children. Common treatments include inhaled immuno suppressants or steroids.
- Corticosteroids and leukotriene treatments might lead to side effects such as oral yeast infections, headaches, hoarseness, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and irritability.
These aspects should be weighed against medical treatment considerations.
The Non-Medical Approach
The non-medical approach embraces four primary strategies:
- breathing exercises: Pranayama, a yoga practice, regulates breathing and manages hyperventilation during crises but doesn’t target underlying allergic reactions.
- Herbal Remedies: Traditional Asian medicines employ herb blends to alleviate asthma effects.
The Chiropractic Approach
Asthma involves multiple components—smooth muscles around airways, mucous membranes, and even immune system components. Gentle chiropractic adjustments may restore communication pathways between the brain and involved tissues, potentially aiding bronchial tube relaxation and reducing inflammation and swelling.
Subluxations and Trauma
Nervous system pressure is referred to as vertebral subluxation. These result from neurological trauma and adversely impact numerous bodily tissues. Subluxations trigger inflammation, interfering with normal functions, and can contribute to various common conditions.
Prove it
A case study by Rectenwald discusses a patient who faced recurrent respiratory distress episodes, unresponsive to pharmacological treatment. Six gentle chiropractic adjustments over seven months resulted in reduced vertebral subluxation and eliminated further breathing difficulties.
In conclusion
Chiropractic interventions align with the body’s natural processes, fostering recovery sans unnecessary side effects.
By alleviating vertebral subluxation’s negative effects, chiropractic adjustments promote natural recuperation.
The occurrence of asthma among Black children (9.9%) surpasses the national average (8.6%). Centers for Disease Control
Asthma’s intricate tissue involvement can disrupt proper breathing. Chiropractic adjustments ensure optimal tissue function, lessening the impact of triggers like exercise, pollen, or cold air.
Chiropractic emerges as a proactive avenue for holistic health. Incorporate chiropractic care into your family’s well-being strategy. “Incorporating chiropractic care into my routine has yielded remarkable progress. Previous medical interventions showed minimal effectiveness.”

Here’s Why Chiropractic Helps Relieve the Symptoms of Asthma…
An optimally functioning nervous system is as important as the health of your muscular system, your digestive system, your cardiovascular system, or any of the other major systems in your body. In fact, the root cause for many conditions in these other systems is neurological. This is precisely why chiropractic can help alleviate a diverse set of issues beyond just physical pain manifested through injury, and also help those who suffer from Carpal Tunnel, Occupational Overuse Syndrome, and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.
Using a very effective and gentle neurological approach, Renegade Chiropractic helps maintain and dramatically improve the wellbeing of hundreds of individuals each year. We have delivered results for others, and believe we can do the same for you.
Fix your Health challenge at it’s source
The purpose of neurologically based chiropractic care is to specify where your nervous system is not communicating correctly. We utilize NASA certified technology to get an exact assessment of your nervous system. This information helps us identify the optimal adjustment plan and ultimately get results for patients who suffer from a wide variety of health conditions.
