Osteopathic Treatment for
Recurrent Colds and Flus
With the prevalence of colds and flu’s in the winter months, it is nice to know that osteopathy provides a natural and drug free treatment for these illnesses. Osteopathy doesn’t suppress symptoms, rather encourages the body’s own healing capacity to function properly, which can help reduce the severity of the illness and also decrease the need for medications.
People are more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections when their lymphatic drainage is compromised. Lymphatic channels run throughout the body and when there is musculoskeletal strain these channels can become blocked. When the lymphatic flow is slowed the virus has more time to multiply before it is recognised by the body and an effective immune response can be mounted.
Osteopathic treatment for colds and flu’s aims to decrease any tension in the musculoskeletal system, helping the body come to a state of balance. This improves the function of the lymphatic, nervous and circulatory systems.
