Living with asthma can be a constant struggle. Wheezing, coughing, chest tightness – these are all symptoms that can have a severe impact on everyday activities. For some people, symptoms may worsen at night or during exercise. Ken Litwin MD Wellness is a clinic dedicated to the promotion of wellness through lifestyle medicine. Though there is no definitive cure for asthma, we are proud to offer our clients with effective management options. Our dedicated team works with your body and lifestyle to recommend effective ways of avoiding flare-ups and improving quality of life.
Asthma and Breathing
Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the lungs characterized by breathing difficulty and coughing. Asthma flare-ups can occur several times a day or on a weekly basis depending on the severity of one’s condition. This disease is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors such as frequent exposure to allergens and air pollution.
Treating Asthma with Lifestyle Medicine
Asthma inhalers are a readily prescribed medication option for symptom management. Though effective, using inhalers without lifestyle modification can often lead to worse and more frequent flare-ups. At Ken Litwin MD Wellness, we believe in a holistic approach to healing. Our dedicated staff take the time to meet with our clients and assess their individual needs. Following consultation, we develop comprehensive treatment packages to help manage chronic conditions.
Lifestyle Modification
Learning about asthma triggers is a must for those living with the condition. Studies show that constant exposure to smoke (even secondhand) and the ingestion of sulfite-containing foods can have a negative impact on asthma management. Meeting with a nutritionist at Ken Litwin MD Wellness will provide you with a thorough understanding of your condition and the lifestyle choices necessary for proper management.
