Asthma

I have been suffering with asthma for most of my life, almost 30 years. I experience asthma attacks at least twice each month. I have come to accept it because doctors have consistently told me that I simply have to learn to live with it. When I would get an attack, I would take the necessary medications to feel better, but it was only temporary, until the next time. There seemed to be no hope for a full recovery and a normal life for me.

As a child, this was devastating. I couldn’t take part in many school activities because I was fearful of the consequences. I was embarrassed to have to use my inhaler in front of all of my friends. It became a real inconvenience in my life, however, I got used to it as I grew older.

Four months ago, I experienced a neck injury and my friend Amy referred me to her chiropractor, Dr. James Ijiwoye. I was a little hesitant to go because I had never been to a chiropractor before and I knew nothing about chiropractic. The pain was so severe that I decided to go so that I could feel better. I had lots of questions and I wasn’t really sure how chiropractic could help.

On my first visit, Dr. James made me feel so comfortable and welcome in the office. All of my questions were answered. By the time my exam was complete, I knew I was in the right place.

What really changed my life, however, was that Dr. James told me that the injured nerves that are causing my neck pain also control my breathing abilities. (He) also explained that when my spine and nerves were healthy again, my breathing may improve as well.

Needless to say, I have been getting adjustments three times each week for the past three months and I have not had an asthma attack since. Oh, my neck pain is better too.

I can’t believe that I suffered needlessly for 30 years and none of my doctors recommended I see a chiropractor. Dr. James has truly made a difference in my life and now I can share chiropractic with everyone I know. I am truly grateful! Thank You!
