OSTEOPATH
Adjustments, more commonly known as spinal manipulation, may be able to help some breathing problems. The biggest determinant will be what is causing the breathing problems. Spinal manipulation can increase the mobility of the thoracic spine and ribs which can make breathing easier. Also, manipulation may increase the function of muscles involved in breathing, again, making breathing easier. However, spinal manipulation has not been shown with scientific research to affect airway obstructions caused by asthma, allergies, emphysema, etc. Thus, if your breathing problems are purely mechanical (rib or spine dysfunction) then spinal manipulation will likely help 100%. If your breathing problems are caused by a conditions such as asthma, the spinal manipulation may make breathing a bit easier and improve quality of life, but it will not solve your problems...you will still need medical care.

A DO is a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine. A chiropractor is a Doctor of Chiropractic. In the beginning (early 1900's) both Chiropractors and Osteopaths treated the body through spinal manipulation. Now Osteopaths have joined the American Medical Association and currently prescribe drugs and perform surgery. While they are trained in spinal alignment and manipulation it can be difficult to find an Osteopath that performs this procedure. Chiropractors are an independent group and remain commited to treating the body without drugs or surgery through spinal manipulation. Jennie Yates, Chiropractor CoreHealth of Clearwater
