Osteopathic Treatment for Asthma
Asthma is an increasing problem for many Australians. Osteopathy is a natural therapy that can be used in conjunction with asthma medication to help decrease the strain on the patient’s body that an asthma attack can create.
The osteopathic treatment will focus on improving the range of movement of the ribs and spine to decrease any tension on the lungs themselves, but also to improve nerve and blood supply to the lungs. This can help the patient to cope with their asthma attacks more easily, and in some cases decrease the frequency of attacks.
