COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chiropractic Care Helps Your Breath Easy
Dr Brad Ivanchuk is a Burlington chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre.
He is also a Personal Training Specialist certified with canfitpro and a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute.
Today we are going to learn about the findings of a recent study published in the Journal of Alternative Complimentary Medicine.
The people who participated in this study suffered from a condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
COPD is a disease of the lungs which includes bronchitis and emphysema.

Both can make simple tasks like walking up a set of stairs very difficult.
The results of this study showed that COPD patients who received chiropractic care had … 1) better lung function and 2) improved exercise performance following their adjustments.
Now, I am sure a lot of you are wondering how this is possible.
Recall what we have talked about several times over the past few months … that spinal misalignments and postural distortions in posture quadrant #1 and posture quadrant #2 can decrease your lung capacity by up to 30%!
So even though chiropractic care may not be a cure for bronchitis or emphysema, it surely is a cure for bad posture.
The better your posture is, the better your internal organs will function. This is a scientific fact.
A bigger question however is this … why would you ever let your posture get so bad that it affects the function of your internal organs in the first place? Especially when you have a choice.
As a chiropractor and posture expert, this is where I can help you.
I will be able to tell you where your posture is starting to collapse, and we can take the appropriate measures to prevent posture distortion patterns from ever starting in the first place.
Not just for you but for your children as well.
