Asthma Specialist in Atlanta, GA
Treating asthma
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic condition in which your airways become overly sensitive to stimuli such as smoke, dust, pollen or physical exertion. This causes the airways to constrict and become inflamed, making breathing more difficult. This causes symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Asthma occurs in people of all ages and can be hereditary, but the severity varies from person to person.
How We Treat
What can Medimprove do for asthma patients?
At Medimprove, we keep your asthma well under control, so that you can keep moving. Our team of pulmonologists, specialized nurses and physiotherapists work together to create the best treatment plan for you. We focus on reducing your symptoms and improving your breathing, both during exertion and at rest.
Optimizing medication and learning proper use
We check whether your medication is optimally adjusted and explain how to best use medication such as inhalers (puffs). This way you get the maximum effect from it.
Guidance in breathing techniques
Our physiotherapists will teach you techniques that help to improve your breathing and keep complaints under control, even during exertion.
Support for exertion complaints
If you have asthma, exertion can sometimes feel heavy. We help you build up your condition with customized exercises so that daily activities such as climbing stairs or exercising become feasible again.
A customized asthma treatment plan
You can come to us for a one-time consultation, but also for a rehabilitation program. Such a program at Medimprove always starts with an extensive intake to map your complaints and needs. Based on this, we draw up a personal treatment plan.
- Your condition and lung function: With a few tests we determine how your lungs function and what the best support is.
- Effort level and goals: We discuss what you find important in your daily life and what you would like to have more energy for.
- Individual treatment plan: Based on your needs and possibilities, we create a tailor-made treatment plan to improve your condition and breathing.
