Asthma

At its core, asthma is an immune disorder. The main symptoms of asthma, wheezing and shortness of breath, are manifestations of the body's immune response to pathogens found in the environment. Our experience has shown us that in the majority of asthma cases, the patient has an imbalanced immune system. Thus, our treatments focus on balancing and strengthening the immune system. Many patients report significant, lasting benefits in just a few sessions of treatment.

Acupuncture has also been shown to have beneficial effects on the primary symptoms of asthma. It can improve pulmonary function and lessen the severity of asthma attacks. Depending on the specific situation, we may recommend traditional acupuncture or a combination of acupuncture and exercise in accordance with our philosophy. We urge you to read through the patient testimonials and related research and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
