Respiratory Problems

Respiratory Problems Chiropractor Centerville, VA

Let's start with a simple exercise. Sit with your shoulders rounded forward and try to take a deep breath. Now, straighten your spine, roll your shoulders back, and breathe again. Feel the difference in how much air you can take in? 

That simple exercise demonstrates how closely your respiratory function is connected to your spinal health. 

At Turner Chiropractic Clinic, we have been helping Centreville residents breathe easier since 1992, offering natural approaches to respiratory health without relying on medications.

The Spine-Respiratory Connection

How Chiropractic Care Helps Breathing Problems

Chiropractic adjustments can help breathing problems in several ways:

1. Removing Nerve Interference: By correcting spinal misalignments, particularly in the thoracic (mid-back) region, we can reduce pressure on the nerves that control respiration.
2. Increasing Chest Mobility: Adjustments to the spine and ribs can increase chest wall flexibility, allowing for deeper more efficient breathing.
3. Improving Posture: Better spinal alignment means your lungs have more space to expand, allowing for increased breathing capacity.
4. Reducing Inflammation: Chiropractic care can decrease inflammation throughout the body, which may help those with inflammatory respiratory conditions.

A study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that 27% of over 5607 patients surveyed reported improved breathing after chiropractic care. Another study in The Journal of Physical Therapy Science found significant increases in the amount of air patients could inhale and exhale after chiropractic adjustments.

While chiropractic care is not a cure for serious lung diseases, it can be a great complementary approach to help you breathe easier and more efficiently.

How to Relieve Neck Pain Fast

If you're searching for a fast way to cure neck pain, we offer immediate relief techniques such as gentle adjustments and supportive therapies. For severe discomfort, like neck pain on the left side, our individualized treatments effectively address the problem.

Our Approach to Your Respiratory Wellness

1. Individualized Assessment: We first evaluate your medical history, posture and specific respiratory complaints. This helps us determine if spinal misalignments could be contributing to your breathing difficulties.
2. Gentle Spinal Adjustments: We use gentle targeted techniques to restore proper vertebral alignment, relieving pressure on nerves in the neck, upper back and thoracic region. Many patients report feeling more open in their chest after just a few visits.
3. Soft Tissue Support: Muscles around the ribs or upper back can restrict lung expansion. Depending on your needs we may include massage therapy, stretches or mobility exercises to support better breathing mechanics.
4. Lifestyle & Posture Guidance: Small changes – such as ergonomic sitting, daily stretches and mindful breathing exercises – can enhance the benefits of chiropractic care and help you breathe more comfortably in daily life.
