Do you suffer from asthma in Wenatchee? Asthma rates in the United States have surged by over 60% since the late 1980s, with nearly 20 million Americans affected, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Conventional treatments often involve medication to manage symptoms, but these do not offer a long-term solution to improve the quality of life for asthma sufferers. Fortunately, residents of Wenatchee have an alternative option through chiropractic care.
Research has indicated a significant link between respiratory issues, such as asthma, and the spinal cord and nervous system. The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating the respiratory system. A subluxation, or misalignment of the spine, can interfere with nervous system function, leading to respiratory issues. Chiropractic adjustments can remove these subluxations, potentially improving asthma symptoms.
The diaphragm and lungs are situated in the thoracic cavity, with the diaphragm being the primary muscle controlling breathing. The phrenic nerve, which originates from the spinal cord at C3, C4, and C5 vertebrae in the neck, controls the diaphragm. When these nerves are pinched or compressed, the signals from the brain to the diaphragm are compromised, potentially worsening asthma symptoms.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal function to the nervous system by correcting subluxations. These subluxations can be caused by various factors such as birth trauma, falls, poor posture, accidents, toxins from poor nutrition, smoking, drinking, and even stress and negativity. By addressing these subluxations, chiropractors help improve nervous system function, which can lead to better respiratory health.
A clinical trial demonstrated that patients with asthma who received chiropractic adjustments showed significant improvement in bronchial hyperactivity and a reduction in asthma symptoms. Additionally, a study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research reported that 81 children with asthma treated with chiropractic care over two months experienced a 45% decrease in asthma attacks, and 31% voluntarily reduced their medication intake.
