Dr. B Asks some important questions of interest to Tustin residents - Chiropractor Tustin Dr. B Asks...

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes.

Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Tustin chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
