Bronchial thermoplasty

Bronchial thermoplasty is a minimally invasive therapy for people with severe asthma that helps reduce the number of asthma attacks. It is only for adults (age 18 and older) with severe asthma that isn't well controlled by medication, and who don't have other health conditions that worsen asthma.  

Call Legacy Medical Group–Pulmonary for an appointment to see if bronchial thermoplasty may be an option for you.

Poor sleep can affect your quality of life and, more important, your health. The first step may be undergoing a sleep study. Talk to your doctor about being tested for sleep issues at Legacy Sleep Services, available at several Legacy Health medical centers.
