Asthma

Overview of Asthma

Asthma is a reversible narrowing of the large and small airways due to  spasm of the bronchial smooth muscle, inflammation of the bronchial  mucosa, and production of mucus.  Asthmatic attacks are brought on by  stress, exercise, viral respiratory infections, and allergens such as  pollen, mold, dust and animal danders.  One study showed a decrease in  Bronchiodialator use by 20% with chiropractic care, and decreased the  severity of the reactions by 39%.  Even better, after a year follow up,  the improvements maintained.
