Did you know research has shown osteopathic manual treatment
(OMT) to be effective in improving lung function after surgery, that OMT helps
treat pneumonia, decreases antibiotic use, respiratory failure & therefore decreases
death, that it improves breathing in asthma patients, that it prevents lung
infection, and that it improves lung function in patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease?
Below you find a list of scientific research demonstrating
effectiveness of manual osteopathy on lung diseases.
Sleszynski SL & Kelso AF (JAOA, 1993) showed that OMT is
as effective as or better than incentive spirometry (deep-breathing exercises)
to improve lung function after surgery.
Noll DR et al (JAOA, 1999; JAOA, 2000; Altern Ther Health
Med, 2004; JAOA 2008 and Osteopath Med Prim Care, 2010) proved through a series
of studies that OMT helps treat pneumonia. OMT decreases antibiotic use, length
of stay in the hospital, respiratory failure and death. OMT can also alter lung
function in COPD.
Bockenhauer SE et al (JAOA, 2002) showed improved breathing
in asthma patients who received OMT.
Guiney PA et al (JAOA, 2005) performed a randomized
controlled trial that demonstrated OMT improves breathing in children with
asthma.
Henderson AT et al (JAOA, 2010) showed that treating ribs
with OMT altered intensity of the nervous input to the lungs.
Saggio G et al (JAOA, 2011) used OMT to increase IgA levels,
potentially helping prevent upper respiratory infections.
Zanotti E et al (Complement Ther Med, 2012) used OMT and a
pulmonary rehabilitation program to improve exercise capacity and lung function
in patients with COPD.
