Asthma is a type of auto-immune disorder (see allergies for more info) that affects the respiratory system. Triggers such as mold, dust or cigarette smoke cause a biophysical reaction called an asthma attack which constricts the airways making it difficult to breathe. In extreme cases, asthma attacks can be fatal.
Traditional treatments include medications such as broncho-dialators and steroidal anti-inflammatories. If you are presently being medically managed for your asthma please discuss any changes in medicinal treatment with your doctor. Please read the section on allergies to see how chiropractic has been successful in treating some cases of asthma.
