How Chiropractic Cares for Asthma
Since asthma originates from inflammation in the lungs, most medications aim to reduce this inflammation. However, some individuals still experience asthma attacks without significant relief. One possible reason for this is the failure to address a root cause: the nervous system.
The nervous system and musculoskeletal system are closely interconnected and mutually influential. They also impact breathing. Specifically, the phrenic nerve, along with its associated muscle, plays a crucial role in controlling breathing.
When spinal subluxations put stress on this nerve, it affects overall respiratory function. Treating the spine around the phrenic nerve can lead to better breathing regulation, potentially reducing the severity of asthma attacks.
