ASTHMA

Several studies have explored the connection between spinal manipulative therapy (the chiropractic adjustment) and improvement in the symptoms of asthma. Both parents and children have reported lowered severity of asthmatic symptoms following a treatment using chiropractic adjustments. Additional case studies have also shown a link between chiropractic adjustments and a decrease in asthmatic symptoms.


NOTE FROM THE DOCTOR:
That misaligned ribs can cause shortness of breath? Did you also know, scoliosis in the spine can impair heart and lung functioning? Lastly, did you know misalignments in the neck can affect the vagus nerve that controls the lungs and diaphragm? Dr. Rocco says, regular consistent care can help to get kids or adults off of their asthma medications and improve their quality of life.

If you have suffered a recent car accident, trip and fall, sports collision, or repetitive work injury, you may be having some joint problems in the spine and neck we have joints that are connected together with ligaments but in the spine we have a total of nine surrounding each bone. These ligaments are designed to maintain stability for the spinal column so that the bones do not misalign and compress, pinch, or sever the spinal cord, which would impair oxygen, blood and energy control to our organs and muscles. In our spine and neck we also have discs. These discs are called intervertebral discs. The discs are primarily cartilage on the outside with a center that is a gel water substance.

What is really occurring is that the joints have been misaligned, creating abnormal wear and tear on the joints, ligaments, and cartilage. Unfortunately, this can occur from physical, ,chemical, or emotional events that cause stress to our bodies. Once the joint is misaligned, it is unable to self-correct. It does not matter if you stretch, exercise, massage the joints, take pain pills, take vitamins, ice, take a hot bath, or try to sleep it off. The joints will stay misaligned. In time, this becomes osteoarthritis. Doctors have proven that a satisfactory treatment for arthritis is exercise, which gets the joints moving and increases oxygen and blood to the joints, which in turn decreases inflammation. Unfortunately, this does not correct the problem and does not stop the progression of arthritis. Doctors have found the best treatment for arthritis in our joints-a combination of...

Do you have babies or infants that can’t move their head very well or are hitting their head against the crib or always grabbing their neck or head with their hands? Parents see this activity in a baby or infant can be stressful or unsettling. Do your children have allergies or they seem to be sick all the time?

We’re going to review some of these stressors and how to correct them at your local chiropractic clinic. Fi...
