Titan Chiropractic

Chiropractic Care in Petaluma, CA for Chronic Cough Relief

A persistent cough can be exhausting and disruptive. At Titan Chiropractic in Petaluma, we provide gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments to support lung function, strengthen the immune system, and help your body heal naturally—without medications or invasive treatments.

Coughing is a protective mechanism, but when it becomes chronic, it may signal underlying issues with the nervous system, immune function, or lung health. Chiropractic care addresses spinal misalignments (subluxations) that disrupt nerve communication and contribute to airway irritation, inflammation, and persistent coughing.

  • Restore spinal alignment and relieve nerve irritation contributing to chronic coughing.
  • Support immune system balance for fewer recurring respiratory infections.
  • Improve rib cage mobility and breathing mechanics for healthier lung function.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Chronic Cough Naturally

By correcting spinal misalignments and restoring nervous system balance, chiropractic care helps regulate lung function, airway sensitivity, and immune responses. Many patients notice reduced coughing episodes, easier breathing, and stronger immune resilience after care.

  • Restores spinal and rib alignment for healthier breathing mechanics.
  • Supports vagus nerve function to regulate lung and throat function.
  • Strengthens immune system responses against infections and irritation.
  • Reduces airway inflammation and excess mucus production.

Think of Your Lungs Like an Air Filter

Simple Analogy

Your lungs are like an air filter, designed to keep oxygen flowing and your body running smoothly. When the filter is clogged—like when spinal misalignments disrupt nerve signals—airflow becomes restricted. Chiropractic care helps clear the interference, allowing your lungs to function like a freshly cleaned filter, reducing chronic cough and restoring easier breathing.

How Subluxations Can Impact Chronic Cough

Subluxations (spinal misalignments) can irritate the nerves that regulate lung and throat function, leading to persistent coughing, restricted rib cage mobility, and heightened airway sensitivity. By correcting these misalignments, chiropractic adjustments restore proper communication between the brain and body, helping regulate breathing and immune responses.

  • Nerve compression and irritation in the cervical and thoracic spine.
  • Vagus nerve dysfunction leading to airway sensitivity and coughing.
  • Restricted rib cage expansion reducing lung capacity.
  • Increased inflammation and mucus production from nervous system stress.
  • Weakened immune coordination contributing to recurring respiratory issues.

The Potential Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Chronic Cough

  • Restores spinal alignment to reduce nerve irritation.
  • Enhances nerve communication for better lung regulation.
  • Supports lung expansion and improved breathing mechanics.
  • Decreases airway sensitivity and inflammation.
  • Strengthens immune system function to fight infections naturally.
  • Provides long-term relief and improved overall health.
