Health Concerns Chiropractic Care for Asthma & Emphysema May Improve

Service symptoms imageMany people who seek us out in Merrimack, NH describe wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, or coughing that comes and goes. We see children and adults exhausted by recurrent asthma attacks, who can’t keep up with friends or activities because of trouble catching their breath. Some patients visit us after years of seasonal allergies, smoker’s cough, or bronchitis that just doesn’t clear up.


Our approach is also helpful for those who feel like their lungs just don't fully expand, or who are discouraged by fatigue and low stamina. Parents bring children who struggle to run, play, or sleep soundly due to constant respiratory symptoms. We work with folks who want anything that might help—from extra support in allergy season to a boost in everyday immunity. Our care is not a replacement for medications but rather an added step toward healthier, easier breathing.

How Chiropractic Care for Asthma & Emphysema Works

When you come to our Merrimack, NH office for support with asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, you'll be treated with compassion and respect. We’ll start by listening to your experience—when symptoms began, how they affect your day-to-day life, and what treatments or medications you've already tried. Our thorough exam includes gentle palpation of the spine and posture evaluation, focusing on areas linked to respiratory function. If we notice any tension or subluxations in key spinal regions, we use safe, gentle adjustments to help improve communication between your brain and lungs. Adjustments aren’t painful, and you’re always encouraged to share how you’re feeling. We review your progress regularly, make changes to your care plan as needed, and always recommend you continue your prescribed medical treatment. Your comfort and understanding are our priorities from start to finish.
