Situation

If the lung is distressed it can have multiple impacts on the performance and quality of life. Breathing is very tightly knit to the physical and mental processes in humans.

Functional disorders of the lung become noticed through breathing disorders such as shortness of breath, repeated diseases of the upper airways, but also in a general diminished performance. Lung diseases do not arise suddenly; in many cases changes are not recognized or are not taken seriously.

Solution

Through regular early care exams, diseases can be detected early and losses in thefunctioning of the lungs can be prevented. Air build-up and shortness of breath will be counteracted with dedicated preventive care measures. Taking therapeutic measures early enough is a beginning for keeping your lungs healthy until old age. A healthy lung stands for high performance. Maintain this quality of life, as the elasticity of the lung diminishes with increasing age.
