Asthma Management

Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways.

Asthma causes coughing, chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath.

It affects one in nine Australians. If you are using a blue asthma reliever over two times a week, it could be a sign that your asthma is not under control.

The Woods Medical Centre can provide a consultation on how to manage your asthma and individualised care plans for those with asthma or any chronic disease.
