Constantly wheezing and coughing due to those factors can cause spasm of ribcage muscle. There are spinal nerves that come from the spinal cord that specifically connect to your lungs and other parts o the respiration system.

Any irritation of spinal nerves will cause interruption of he respiratory system responses effectively to the spinal cord then to the brain. The chiropractic adjustment is merely there to restore the interruption of spinal nerve and our main CPU of body, our brain.

Chiropractic is not something that will works if you only give it try once and expecting 100% full recovery and total transformation of life.

Chiropractic simply facilitates the healing of body. Healing takes time and it definitely requires patience. So how do we know if our patient is recovering under chiropractic?

Every 10-12 visits the chiropractor will do re-assessment examination where we are using objective test to keep track of his or her recovery.

For those seeking pain management thru drugs and surgery instead of focusing on the core problem, then chiropractic is definitely not the right choice for you.
