Asthma & Chiropractic Care
Is your baby living with Asthma?
Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children, affecting approximately 1 in 12 children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every day in America 40,000 people miss school or work due to asthma. In fact, it accounts for an annual loss of more than 14 million school days and more hospitalizations than any other childhood disease.
What is Asthma?
The World Health Organization describes asthma as a chronic disease characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs with recurrent episodes of cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and chest tightness. We understand that dealing with this condition can be a stressful situation for parents. The good news is that even during these times chiropractic care can help your child!
Asthma is a disease that expresses itself very differently in kids, since it depends on how their immune system responds. We see that some children suffer from asthmatic episodes at any time or anywhere, while others only experience asthma when they are exposed to certain places, exercises, or animals. Your child can benefit from chiropractic care if he/she has experienced difficulty sleeping, daytime fatigue, decreased physical activity, or even inability to concentrate effectively.
How could Chiropractic help my child?
First thing to understand is that the Central Nervous System is known as the master control system. As chiropractors we understand that proper alignment of the spine is needed for the proper function of your child’s nervous system & body. The correct alignment of the spine is needed to protect the CNS and maintain that master control system working at its best potential. Your child’s Central Nervous System regulates the immune function, inflammation, and any external environment responses through complex brain signals.
Every week we are able to help children suffering from asthma. Our doctors are glad to report that many of these kids have experienced improvement in their sleep, daytime fatigue, physical activity, and concentration levels. Do we specifically treat their asthma? The short answer is no. However, we carefully assess the functioning of your child’s body when we focus on the alignment of the spine. Asthma is often linked to an unusual regulation of the immune system and overactive responses to the surrounding environment. Now you are aware that when the CNS is functioning properly it will also help regulate an immune system that has the ability to maintain a healthy balance between internal and external environmental factors.
Our doctors will work together through safe, gentle and specific chiropractic techniques to restore the body’s function to its natural state. These techniques are meant to facilitate spinal motion and nerve supply, allowing organs such as the lungs to function optimally.
Revolution Chiropractic is ready to help you and your child find a more intuitive and natural approach to your health concerns. We will guide you and your kids to achieve your healthiest life!
