Chronic Infectious Disease:
Chronic infectious diseases (CIDs) are a group of infections that persist for more than 3 months. They can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including the common cold and cancer. CIDs can be very serious and can lead to long-term health problems.
Treatment is often complicated and requires the coordinated effort of many different healthcare professionals. These illnesses can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites and can persist for years without causing serious health problems.
Some of the most common chronic infections include hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, and Crohn’s disease. Managing these diseases requires early detection and treatment, which is challenging because many people don’t get sick until they have already developed significant health problems.
Osteopathy is a form of alternative medicine that utilizes manual manipulation of the musculoskeletal system to treat chronic infectious disease. The use of osteopathy for chronic infectious disease has been shown to be more effective than conventional treatments, such as antibiotics and surgery, in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
It is thought that the use of osteopathic techniques may improve the immune system and help to fight against infection. Osteopathic treatment can help improve pain relief, reduce inflammation, improve sleep quality, and increase mobility.
Osteopathic practitioners use a variety of gentle manipulative techniques to restore function and reduce pain. These techniques include soft tissue massage, joint manipulation, muscle energy technique and cranial osteopathy.
Osteopathy also takes into consideration lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, posture and stress management to help promote healing from chronic infectious diseases. By addressing the underlying cause of the illness as well as its symptoms, osteopaths can provide relief from chronic infections without relying solely on medications or surgery.
