COPD requires evaluation and ongoing care from a medical clinician. Chiropractic adjustments are not presented as treatment for COPD or as a way to improve lung function.

A person living with COPD may also have a separate concern about back pain, neck pain, or mobility. Before considering musculoskeletal care, tell the clinician about your health history, symptoms, medications, and any activity restrictions.

Do not delay respiratory care or change prescribed treatment because of an older chiropractic article.
