Many chronic asthma sufferers have turned to chiropractic care to help treat or prevent asthma attacks or symptoms. Asthma is a chronic lung disease that involves inflammation and swelling in the lung’s airways. The inflamed airways of an asthmatic are extremely sensitive and often react strongly to allergens and other irritants. With asthma, the muscles surrounding the airways become too tight – a situation known as bronchospasm. Asthma, notes the UC Davis Health System, is episodic, may be accompanied by sinus problems, is usually seasonal and may be reversible.
