But do you know what chiropractic is?

Chiropractic treatment is a treatment method that comprises the realignment of the spine and the nerves.

The chiropractors specialize in the treatment of aligning the spine. However, as mentioned above, chiropractors also help in the treatment of asthma.

• If a patient is suffering from asthma, the chiropractor examines the level of the associated spine. With regards to asthma, if needed, chiropractors can monitor and adjust the thoracic spinal segments. The nerves that exit this portion of the spine activate the lungs and bronchial tubes.

• When the thoracic spine is misaligned or not functioning properly, it can also hinder the ability of the lungs to expand fully while inhalation. So when chiropractors adjust the spine and restore the thoracic spine, it assists lungs in its ability to take in the maximum amount of air.
