Chiropractic Solutions for Asthma Relief
Experience Natural Asthma Relief with Chiropractic Care
​
Struggling with asthma and seeking a holistic way to better manage your condition? Chiropractic care may offer the support you’re looking for. Below are key insights into why consulting a chiropractor for asthma could make a difference:
​
1. Understanding the Nervous System–Respiratory System Link
Research points to a meaningful connection between spinal health, the nervous system, and optimal lung function. Many people report easier breathing and fewer asthma symptoms after starting chiropractic care. Rising asthma rates may be tied to various environmental and lifestyle factors, including:
-
Chemical exposure in modern, energy-efficient homes
-
Indoor pollutants like mold and formaldehyde
-
Changes in birth practices and antibiotic use
Still, not all individuals in the same household are equally affected by these elements—suggesting that additional underlying factors, such as spinal misalignments, could be at play.
​
2. Chiropractic’s Role: Targeting the Nerves Controlling Your Diaphragm
Your diaphragm, the key muscle responsible for breathing, is governed by nerves stemming from the mid-neck region of the spine (C3, C4, and C5). If these nerves are impacted by spinal misalignments, it may compromise the diaphragm’s function. Correcting these subluxations (misalignments) through chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper nerve flow, potentially supporting healthier lung function.

3. What Research Reveals
A notable study in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research examined 81 children with asthma who received chiropractic adjustments over two months. The findings included:
-
A 45% decrease in asthma attacks
-
31% of participants voluntarily reduced their medications
These improvements were linked to enhanced nervous system control over the lungs. Additional studies further highlight the potential benefits of chiropractic care for asthma sufferers:
-

-

Can Chiropractic Help You Breathe Easier?
While results can vary, many individuals experience fewer and less severe asthma attacks after addressing spinal misalignments. If subluxations are contributing to your symptoms, conservative chiropractic care may offer meaningful relief.
