Asthma Cases Rising At Alarming Rate

 Concord Chiropractor Helps Asthma ?

This once rare disorder has exploded in incidence and is now the most common chronic disease of children. Some think it’s due to a combination of factors such as, the increasing use of vaccinations, the increase of chemicals in our environment, and our energy efficient, airtight, super-insulated homes that can trap chemicals, molds and formaldehyde as well as other irritants. Even the increasing use of cesarean births and antibiotics have been cited.


The root of asthma can be found in an improperly responding nervous system (neurogenic asthma), immune system (allergic asthma) or inflammatory system (inflammatory asthma).  

Why Chiropractic Helps Asthma and Allergies

Your diaphragm is the primary muscle used for breathing. Nerves that exit the spinal cord in the mid-neck (C3, C4 and C5) area control each breath . Pressure on the nervous system in this area can affect the nerve supply to the diaphragm. Chiropractors have found that irritation of the vagus nerve (which can be affected by subluxation (aka misalignment)  in the upper neck involving one of the top 2 vertebrae) or suppression of sympathetic nerve fibers (in the mid-back/thoracic spine) can lead to bronchial spasm. A chronic subluxation in the upper neck or other related area of the spine can put the nervous system close to threshold in spontaneously constricting the muscles of the bronchial tubes.

Asthma researchers say that an overactive parasympathetic nervous system can explain why such nonspecific stimuli such as smoke, viruses and even sudden weather changes trigger wheezing in both allergic and nonallergic asthmatics. 

Barton Chiropractic , through specific Chiropractic adjustments, is able to restore proper nervous system control of the lungs, allowing the body to function at an optimum level!





 Ever since I was 4 years old, I have had the worst allergies! Every picture I would have swollen eyes with dark circles under them. Since I started coming t o Dr. Barton I haven’t had hardly any allergy attacks. The best part… no more drugs. No sprays, drops, or pills.

Thank you,

Chiropractic And Spinal Stenosis Pain


 Case Study Shows Chiropractic Benefit for   Spinal Stenosis

It is now easier than ever to get relief from Spinal Stenosis Pain. Chiropractor in Concord , Barton Chiropractic, has long been recognized as a leader in patient care.

  Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a condition resulting in narrowing of the spinal canal and pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. Degenerative changes are also common.  The patient commonly has chronic low back pain and unilateral or bilateral leg symptoms.

May 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT):  Case report of how chiropractic helped a patient with Spinal Stenosis. 

In this study a 78-year-old man had low back pain and severe bilateral leg pains.

The patient in this study was a 78-year-old man with acquired degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. The onset was slow and progressive with increasing low back pain of 2 years' duration and progressively worsening bilateral anterior leg pain of 4 months' duration.  The patient described an "achy low back" pain with a belt-line distribution and an “electric,” “sharp,” and “crampy” pain along the front of the lower leg.  The MRI study of his lower back reveled a narrowing of the spinal canal.

In this case the man underwent an initial course of chiropractic care for a two week period during which significant changes were noted by the patient. ( Years worth of damage, only two weeks of care and he was showing improvement!)

 The conclusion of the case report demonstrates successful care of a patient with symptoms either caused by or complicated by central spinal cord stenosis.
