Recurrent Sore Throats
Recurrent sore throats, also known as pharyngitis, are a common problem. They can be caused by a variety of viruses, bacteria, or allergies. Some people experience repeated sore throats because their immune system doesn’t respond properly to the infection. Others have recurring sore throats because of a condition such as laryngeal cancer.

Cold viruses are the most common type of virus. They cause a cold and can be contagious. About 50% of people get a cold at least once a year. The best way to prevent colds is to keep your immune system strong by eating healthy food, getting enough sleep. The best way to prevent colds is to avoid infections in the first place.

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye that results in progressive loss of vision. The primary cause of glaucoma is an increase in the pressure inside the eye, which can be caused by a number of factors, including aging, genetics, and increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP). Treatment for glaucoma typically involves reducing IOP with medications or surgery. Early detection and treatment are critical to improving your chances of a successful outcome.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses, which are small air-filled cavities located in the front of the head and neck. Sinus infection can be very serious, and may lead to a wide range of symptoms, including headache, fever, and pressure in the head. Sinusitis is most commonly caused by a cold or flu virus, but it can also be caused by other infections, such as allergies. Osteopathy for Sinusitis: Osteopathy as a treatment for sinusitis is based on the premise that the sinuses are essentially organs of elimination. When these organs are inflamed, congestion and inflammation occur in other parts of the body. The sinuses are also sensitive to the environment and can be adversely affected by pollutants, smoke, cold temperatures, and pressure. The pressure and inflammation of the sinuses can be relieved with osteopathic techniques.
Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a common problem that can be very frustrating. It can occur when there is a problem with the way the ear works, such as an infection or tumor. Tinnitus can also be caused by hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, and certain medications.
