Inhaler and spacer education is a hands-on training session designed to ensure asthma and respiratory allergy medications are used correctly. While inhalers are effective treatments, the medicine only works if it reaches the lungs properly. This service helps children and adults learn correct inhaler technique and understand how using a spacer can improve medication delivery.
During an education session, we review your prescribed inhaler and demonstrate proper use step by step. Patients practice the technique with guidance to ensure coordination and timing are correct. If a spacer is recommended, we explain how it works and demonstrate how to use it effectively.
Education is tailored to your age, inhaler type, and individual needs, and questions are encouraged throughout the session.
Spacers are especially helpful for children, older adults, and anyone who has difficulty with inhaler coordination.
If asthma symptoms are not improving, technique may be a contributing factor.
