Asthma

Chiropractic is not a treatment for asthma.
However, many who suffer from asthma report improvement  by receiving chiropractic care. 

There is research that suggests a link between the spinal column, the nervous system and the respiratory system. This may be why many have mentioned improved breathing by consulting our practice. 
Asthma

Countless Causes 

Asthma cases seem to be rising at an alarming rate. Some think it's due to a combination of factors, especially the increase of chemicals in our environment. 

These days, airtight, super-insulted homes can trap chemicals, molds, formaldehyde and other irritants. Even the increasing use of cesarean births, antibiotics and our fascination with germ killing have been cited.

If these factors were the only issue, why wouldn't all children living in the same house and breathing the same air, suffer equally?

Chiropractic Connection

Your diaphragm is the primary muscle used for breathing. Nerves that control each breath leave your brain and exit the spinal cord in the mid-neck (C3, C4 and C5) area. Spinal problems in this area can have a profound affect on the nerve supply to the diaphragm.

Reducing subluxations in the spine may help restore proper nervous system control of the lungs and improved function can begin.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It begins as a postural distortion and may become a permanent deformity. Allowed to advance, it may interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs. 
Scoliosis

Three Causes 

  1. Congenital genetic predisposition 
  2. Habitual behavioral routines
  3. Idiopathic unknown cause
Regardless of cause, early detection can be helpful. 

Obvious Clues 

An alert parent may notice that a high shoulder or low hip make clothing fit poorly. Or uneven shoe wear offers a clue. Back and leg pains may develop but are often dismissed as "growing pains."

Wait and See?

Allowed to run its course, scoliosis may often worsen. Severe cases may involve unsightly bracing or surgery that attaches steel rods, forcing the spine to straighten. 

Natural Approach 

A schedule of specific chiropractic adjustments may help improve the function and structure of the spine. As muscles are retrained and strengthen, posture may improve.
