Asthma can be caused by a combination of environmental issues and genetic factors. Asthma is also a chronic lung condition that restricts the airways from the mouth and nose to the lungs. People with asthma may experience difficulty breathing, severe wheezing, chronic coughing, and chest tightness. Unfortunately, people with severe asthma can be in danger because of the lack of oxygen that flows to their lungs.

Fortunately, asthma is a very common symptom treated by chiropractic since those airways are controlled by nerves. These asthmatic reactions to the body can be caused by the immune system or respiratory system being overly sensitive. When nerves are able to communicate freely with the rest of the body, airways can open up easily, causing more air to move from the head to the lungs, giving a person the ability to breathe easier. For your system to work correctly, it relies on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord.
