Breathe Easy With Chiropractic

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by decreased airflow to the lungs. It affects nearly 330 million people worldwide and makes it difficult for the sufferer to accomplish everyday tasks due to shortness of breath.

Many COPD sufferers have indicated an improved ability to breathe after chiropractic adjustments. Evidence has suggested that adjustments improve breathing mechanics, allowing for increased chest expansion and flexibility.
