Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disorder that causes severe lung damage and nutritional deficiencies.
An inherited condition, cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. Normally, these secretions are thin and slippery, but in cystic fibrosis, a defective gene causes the secretions to become thick and sticky. Instead of acting as a lubricant, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, especially in the pancreas and lungs.

There are many things you can do at home to reduce the chances for developing cystic fibrosis complications. A Cystic Fibrosis Heath Clinic is an excellent place to begin managing the illness. Please book today for a one-on-one session with a member of our team.
