Asthma Treatment for Children at Well-Rooted Pediatrics
Supporting Your Child’s Breathing and Overall Health

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we understand that asthma can be a challenging condition for both children and their families. Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways, making it difficult for your child to breathe. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Our goal is to provide compassionate, effective care to help manage asthma, improve your child’s quality of life, and prevent future asthma attacks.

Understanding Asthma in Children

Asthma occurs when the airways in the lungs become inflamed, making it harder for air to flow in and out. For children, asthma symptoms may be triggered by allergens, respiratory infections, cold air, exercise, or even stress. Common signs of asthma in children include:

  • Wheezing or a whistling sound when breathing
  • Frequent coughing, especially at night or after physical activity
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty keeping up with peers
  • Chest tightness or discomfort when breathing
  • Frequent colds or respiratory infections

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating asthma in children. We begin by thoroughly reviewing your child’s symptoms, family medical history, and environmental factors that may trigger asthma.

Our Approach to Treating Asthma

Our goal is to help manage asthma symptoms and prevent exacerbations while improving your child’s overall health and well-being. We take a holistic, integrative approach to asthma care, addressing both the immediate symptoms and the underlying triggers that may be contributing to the condition.

Holistic and Integrative Asthma Care

  • Environmental Factors: We help identify and minimize environmental triggers, such as allergens (e.g., pollen, dust, pet dander) and irritants (e.g., tobacco smoke, pollution). We work with families to create a cleaner, healthier home environment to reduce asthma flare-ups.
  • Diet & Nutrition: Proper nutrition can play a significant role in managing asthma. We provide dietary recommendations that support immune function and reduce inflammation in the airways. Certain foods and nutrients can help to manage asthma symptoms naturally.
  • Breathing Techniques & Relaxation: Teaching your child proper breathing techniques can help manage asthma attacks and prevent shortness of breath. We also emphasize relaxation methods, including mindfulness and stress-reduction strategies, which can help reduce the frequency and intensity of asthma symptoms.
  • Exercise & Physical Activity: While exercise can sometimes trigger asthma symptoms, it is important for children to stay active. We work with families to create safe, asthma-friendly exercise routines that improve lung function and overall health.
  • Vitamins & Supplements: Targeted supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin D, can help reduce inflammation and support respiratory health.

Medication Management

While we focus on natural and holistic treatments, we also recognize that medications are sometimes necessary for asthma management. We work closely with you to develop an asthma management plan that includes both rescue and maintenance medications as needed. We also provide guidance on how to properly use inhalers and other devices to ensure your child is receiving the right dosage of medication.

Long-Term Asthma Management

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we take a proactive approach to asthma management. We don’t just focus on symptom relief; we work to reduce the frequency of asthma attacks and improve your child’s long-term lung health. Our team will regularly monitor your child’s asthma and adjust their treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results.

We have used Jessica for several years now. She takes time and care when seeing her patients. My husband and I will always feel like she saved our baby. Our youngest was sick and then ended up with RSV and pneumonia. It was Jessica who kept in touch with and made sure our daughter received the best care.

We love Well-Rooted Pediatrics. On every visit I feel like Jessica listens to my concerns and cares about my opinions on things regarding my kids. She looks at the whole child and treats the body from the inside out while still knowing there’s a time and place for medicine. With this approach I absolutely trust her and the care she provides for my four kids. Highly recommend, your family will love her too!!

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.
