Osteopathic Treatment for Mesothelioma

Picture
A doctor of osteopathy can be a great addition to a medical team for someone with mesotheliomaor another type of cancer. This professional is a trained and licensed medical caregiver who can diagnose and treat patients, but who works under a different philosophy of medicine from that of an MD. Osteopaths are more focused on prevention, treating the whole person, and physical manipulation of the musculoskeletal system.

How Osteopathy Can Help Mesothelioma Patients

Osteopathy is widely accepted in modern medicine and used by many patients, including those with cancer. Research into how it can help cancer patients is limited, though. Most studies of osteopathic manipulation focus on back pain and some types of headaches. There is evidence that manipulation can help relieve these types of pain, but the evidence that it helps with cancer-specific symptoms is limited to anecdotal evidence.

The anecdotal evidence is strong, though. There simply has not been research done to prove what many patients know: osteopathic doctors can help cancer patients find relief. Working with an osteopathic doctor can help patients get relief from pain and improve mobility. It can help promote general healing and most patients report that the hands-on manipulation helps to relax their bodies and minds, providing relief from stress and anxiety.
