Asthma is a common breathing disorder characterized by episodes of wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness due to widespread narrowing of the airways. A cough may also be associated with asthma. Although not curable, most cases of asthma can be managed. Simply Health can work with your general physician or respiratory specialist to help alleviate the symptoms of asthma.
Our team of chiropractors are experienced in co-managing asthma patients to help maintain posture and muscle tone to assist with easy breathing.
An important focus of care is addressing the postural and muscle changes that may occur with asthma individuals. Spinal adjustments to the upper back and lower neck, and soft tissue techniques to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles are often used. Breathing exercises that attempt to improve lung capacity may also be helpful.
It is common for asthma individuals to show postural changes related to their breathing such as forward head posture and a rounded mid back; in chronic cases, they may have ‘barrel chest’. We can help in maintaining good posture that can assist in breathing.
We are happy to discuss any questions you have on asthma. Book an appointment below to schedule a consultation with one of our chiropractors who will be able to recommend an appropriate course of action. We also invite you to take our Free Spinal Check to understand how your spine may be affecting your health and whether chiropractic is a suitable treatment for your condition.
