Chiropractic for Asthma
Asthma is not normal. Having this ailment is your body warning you of a problem. It is the number one cause of hospitalization in children. The most common treatment for asthma is the use of inhalers which carry its own side effects. The nerves that go to the lungs originate in the mid back area. If the spinal column is not properly alligned in this area, this could cause asthma, among other symptoms, such as indigestion, heartburn, bloating and weight gain. We have witnessed many children and adults recover fully from asthma and start enjoying life to the fullest.
Dr. Goel is an expert in the care of your spinal column, joints, nerves, muscles and ligaments that make up 60% of your body. Your spinal column is part of this neuro-musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health and well being. In our office, we check your spinal column and the other joints related to your health concerns to make sure all is functioning optimally and then, if need be, we will discuss the other pillars of well being, such as exercise recommendations, nutritional advice, and positive internal dialogue. These are all based on your age, your health history and your needs.

Testimonials
When I was eight years old, I was diagnosed with asthma. I used to cough a lot and had to be careful with the level and intensity of physical activity. By the time I was eleven years old, there was no improvement. My mom took me to see two doctors who both gave me Ventalin and Flovent pumps. They also advised me not partake in any vigorous sport because I would not be able to breathe and would need my pumps. I was sad and frustrated that i could not play the sports that I loved.
My mom took me to see Dr. Goel for a consultation. Dr. Goel was confident that she could help relieve my asthma and coughing because my x-rays showed that there were subluxations interfering with my health. I have to say that almost immediately after starting my adjustments, my coughing stopped. I used to spend entire nights up from coughing and it didn't matter what season it was. Now I can sleep through the night.
It is now the end of the summer and I feel much better. I can now play soccer and I have used my pumps only once. It's nice to not have to worry anymore and mom is so happy that our sleep is no longer disturbed. It's fun to have fun again!

Many years ago I learned to live with my severe asthma. It would act up when I would walk or move quickly. Not only would I have shortness of breath but I would also cough a lot.
Over the years it became progressively worse. My general practitioner and lung specialist both prescribed sprays to help me deal with this debilitating asthma. Every few months there would be new sprays on the market and they would advise me to change the prescription in hopes of alleviating this problem.
None of these sprays helped – I still had much difficulty breathing both indoors and outdoors.
I decided to consult with Dr. Goel. After the first week of receiving adjustments, I felt an improvement in my walking and my breathing became easier. It keeps getting easier and easier after every adjustment and I feel myself growing stronger and coughing less as time goes on.
