Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Triggers can include allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, and environmental factors, and management typically involves medication to control symptoms, lifestyle changes, and avoidance of triggers.
Asthma can be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including a family history of asthma or allergies, exposure to tobacco smoke, pollution, allergens such as pollen or pet dander, respiratory infections, and certain occupational exposures like chemicals or dust.
Additionally, respiratory irritants, cold air, and physical exertion can exacerbate asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals.
Chiropractic care for asthma may focus on improving spinal alignment, particularly in the thoracic spine, to enhance respiratory function and reduce nerve interference.
Alongside spinal adjustments, chiropractors may recommend breathing exercises, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes to support respiratory health and minimize asthma symptoms. While chiropractic care can complement conventional asthma management, it's essential for individuals with asthma to continue following their prescribed treatment plans and consult with their healthcare providers for comprehensive care.
