Osteopathy can be of considerable help to children and adults with Asthma. The treatment approach would focus on the mid back and ribs to make sure that their movement was unrestricted, the lungs themselves to improve motion, blood supply and drainage, and the trachea also to loosen the soft tissues which are often very tight and irritable, thus allowing the airway to open up.  Also we would look at the nerves which supply the lungs as these can often be irritable causing the lungs to react and remain restricted when they don’t have to be.

We can work with conventional asthma medication or discuss alternatives such as Homeopathy if he patient wishes to try a new approach.

The combination of Osteopathic and Homeopathic treatment for asthma can be very potent and highly effective and allow patients to stop using their conventional inhalers.
