The feeling of not being able to breath brought on by an asthma attack is a frightening experience. There are roughly 19 million adults and 7 million children who experience asthma. This chronic inflammatory conditions of the lungs causes many people to struggle living here in Wheat Ridge and the Denver metro area with air pollution on the rise. Wheat Ridge Chiropractor, Dr. Al Simeone has helped many people breathe easier by relieving the cause of their respiratory problems through chiropractic care in addition to helping them make lifestyle adjustments.

Chiropractic Care for Asthma Relief

During an asthma attack, the airway is reacting to an offending stimuli by constricting, tightenging and secreting a surplus of mucous. This response causes a severe shortness of breath. When asthma attacks, it is essential for the individual to receive immediate medical assistance to relax and re-open the airway to prevent asthma attacks from becoming deadly. Inhalers are the standard of care as an effective but short term treatment for asthma but they do not address or correct the primary cause of why the individuals lungs are so sensitive. Chiropractic is an effective treatment to correct the miscommunication between the lungs and the nervous system to decrease asthma attack frequency and intensity. Our Wheat Ridge chiropractor regularly finds people who experience shortness of breath and co-occurring asthma are typically also experiencing upper back pain. Dr. Al Simeone usually finds the patient has had either:

E

A subluxation (misalignment) of cervical (neck) vertebra (C7), or upper back vertebrae T1, T2 and/or T3 that is related to poor posture; Nerves from this area directly impact the respiratory system.

E

A traumatic injury to this same area of the neck and/or upper back.
