Summary

This study is to see Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy, or OMT, can aid in treating patients being seen for respiratory illness and associated symptoms. The hypothesis is that the addition of OMT therapy, alongside other standard care (such as a medication), can help lessen patient symptoms sooner than just other treatment alone, and the duration of the condition will shorten as well.

Conditions

  • Pneumonia
  • Sinusitis
  • Bronchitis
  • Respiratory Disease
  • Respiratory Tract Infections

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lymphatic Pump Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy

OMT is a series of manual pressure and physical stimulation among various parts of the body to stimulate fluid movement and immune response in patients with various symptoms and disease. This may help with conditions such as edema, clearance of infections, facilitate healing and circulation, and bolster the immune response. Specifically, the lymphatic pump type of OMT targets the head, neck, thoracic region, lumbar and sacral regions, pelvis, arms, legs, and abdomen.
