Improving Asthma Symptoms Through Chiropractic Care

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Dec. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- It is a concern in the medical community that asthma cases have increased by 60% in the last two decades. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more or less 20 million people suffer from asthma and about 5,000 deaths per year are due to the condition.

The usual culprit are genetics, exposure to allergens from cleaning products or formaldehyde preservatives found in carpets and furniture, poor air quality, molds in the house, manufactured food with preservatives, vaccinations and antibiotics. Stress may also trigger asthma attacks.

Since asthma is chronic, it can only be managed, but not cured. The most important thing that asthma patients must do is to get checked by an asthma specialist to get solid treatment results. Otherwise, symptoms will keep coming back and get worse in time.

Aside from medication provided by asthma specialists, relaxation techniques and treatments like meditation, yoga, acupuncture and chiropractic care are known to ease asthma symptoms. A clinical trial has proven that patients who undergo such exercises and treatments showed significant improvement in bronchial hyper-reactivity. There is also a decrease in asthma sensitivity.

Dr. Ali of ChiroCarolina, a chiropractic clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina, reaffirms the clinic trial. Chiropractic care and manipulation have helped many patients deal with various chronic conditions, including asthma.
