Asthma
If you have asthma you probably do not need to be told that asthma attacks can be serious. If you have ever seen anyone frantically struggling to breathe, then you know that the condition is cause for real concern. Ten times more people die each year from asthma than whooping cough, typhoid fever, dysentery and diphtheria combined.
Asthma is not simply an allergic reaction. Attacks are often triggered by a hypersensitivity to normally harmless things like pollen, food or dust. A body in optimum health doesn’t have any allergies.
During an asthma attack, an abnormal muscle contraction within the bronchial tubes reduces the amount of oxygen intake. The brain detects the lowered oxygen content within the blood and immediately signals the asthma sufferer to struggle for oxygen.
Why do the bronchial asthma demonstrate vertebral misalignments in the upper part of the spine, usually between the shoulder blades. This is the exit-point of the nerves leading to the bronchial tubes. In many cases, removing nerve pressure with an adjustment of the misaligned vertebrae (subluxation) have given immediate relief from severe asthma attacks. In a very high percentage of cases, continued chiropractic care for varying periods of time have allowed patients to recover completely, or significantly reduce the number and severity of asthma attacks.
