Pleurisy:
Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura, a membrane that covers the lungs. Pleurisy may occur due to infection, injury, or other causes.
The most common symptom is chest pain that is aggravated by deep breathing or coughing. Other symptoms may include fever, shortness of breath, and a general feeling of unease. If not treated, it may occasionally lead to complications such as pneumonia or death.
Osteopathy for Pleurisy is a nonsurgical treatment that uses pressure and manipulation to help relieve pain and improve function.
Osteopathy has been shown in recent studies to be an effective treatment for respiratory illness. Studies have shown that osteopathic techniques can improve lung function and reduce the symptoms of respiratory illness.
Osteopathic techniques may include deep breathing exercises, massage, and manipulation of the spine.
Osteopathic manipulation may reduce the symptoms of respiratory illness such as wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.
