Approximately 1 in 12 adults are diagnosed with asthma, and that rate is even higher for children as 1 in 10 are reported as having this scary and sometimes even deadly breathing condition. We have many Leesburg , VA parents bring their children into our office to see Regenerative Medicine of Northern Virginia for asthma relief, and we've had success in relieving the symptoms.
While an asthma attack is definitely a good reason to visit the emergency room, regular chiropractic care may often improve asthma symptoms and severity, potentially making the last-minute hospital trips a thing of the past.
When combined with a medical management program, chiropractic care has been found to reduce asthma severity in as little as just three months of treatment...especially for children with this chronic condition. This means possible less reliance on an inhaler and more enjoyment while participating in activities that you enjoy. It also means possible fewer high-speed trips to the ER in the hopes that you'll get there "fast enough," which is a bonus in anyone's book.
If you or your child suffers from asthma symptoms, visit us in Leesburg , VA to see if Regenerative Medicine of Northern Virginia can help. Our office number is (571) 918-0795.

Welcome to Jaxsens Wellness Center, your home for integrative wellness solutions. At Jaxsens Wellness Center, we take a holistic approach to health, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body and how proper alignment and care can lead to significant improvements in your overall well-being. Today, we're diving into an area that might surprise some – the connection between chiropractic care and asthma management.
Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. Traditional treatments include medications like inhalers and steroids, designed to reduce inflammation and open airways. While these treatments are essential and often effective, they can sometimes come with side effects and do not address the underlying issues that may be contributing to asthma symptoms.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Asthma
At Jaxsens Wellness Center, we believe in treating the body as a whole. Chiropractic care, which involves the adjustment and alignment of the spine and other joints, can play a significant role in managing asthma. But how exactly does this work?
Improved Nervous System Function
The spine houses the spinal cord, a crucial part of the central nervous system that controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. Any misalignment in the spine, known as subluxation, can interfere with the signals sent between the brain and the rest of the body. For asthma sufferers, this interference can affect the lungs' functionality and the muscles around the respiratory system. Chiropractic adjustments help correct these misalignments, thus potentially improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the nervous system, allowing for better respiratory function.
Enhanced Immune Response
Asthma is an inflammatory condition, and inflammation is controlled by the immune system. Chiropractic care has been shown to boost the immune system by reducing stress on the body. When the spine is properly aligned, the body is better able to regulate its immune responses, potentially reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
Reduction of Musculoskeletal Tension
Many people with asthma experience tension in the muscles around the chest and back due to frequent coughing and the struggle to breathe easily. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve this musculoskeletal tension, making it easier to breathe and reducing discomfort.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Jaxsens Wellness Center, we understand that each person’s experience with asthma is unique. This is why we offer personalized treatment plans that are tailored to your specific needs. Our initial consultation involves a thorough examination, including a detailed medical history and possibly some imaging studies like X-rays. This helps us understand the root cause of your asthma symptoms and allows us to design the most effective treatment plan for you.
Our chiropractic care for asthma may include:
Spinal Adjustments: To reduce nerve interference and improve respiratory function.
Soft Tissue Therapy: To alleviate muscle tension around the chest and back.
Exercise and Stretching Programs: To strengthen the muscles involved in breathing and improve overall lung capacity.
Nutritional Advice: To reduce inflammation and support the immune system with a focus on anti-inflammatory foods.
