Over 15 million people are affected by Asthma in the United States alone. With $6.2 billion dollars a year spent on asthma treatment, we at Wills Chiropractic think it is important to get to the root of what causes asthma as opposed to masking it’s symptoms with traditional and costly treatments.
Chiropractic care may help reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. Naturally, we can’t make any promises, however, many of our chiropractic patients report improvements from their asthmatic symptoms.
ASTHMA CAUSES
Asthma is thought to be caused by environmental factors like chemicals, molds, dust, smoke or by emotional factors like stress. The theory is that an increase in exposure to these factors may actually be making us more vulnerable to allergies and asthma.
Asthma is associated with shortness of breath, wheezing, sometimes coughing, and can sometimes lead to an asthma attack which would require an inhaler. These symptoms can occur when the lungs and airways are constricted due to inflammation.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH ASTHMA
Your nervous system controls every function in your body including each breath that you take. If your nervous system is unable to work as intended symptoms may arise. Asthma symptoms can be a sign of a spinal misalignment. A simple adjustment may help restore proper nervous system control of the lungs and therefore eliminate or reduce asthma symptoms.
If you are suffering from asthma and looking to correct your symptoms without medication, the chiropractors at Wills Chiropractic can help.

What Our Patients Say
What to Expect
Relief Chiropractic Care
When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.
Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care
Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.
Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
