Özet
Diaphragmatic dysfunctions are a medical issue whose relevance is often underestimated. They manifest in respiratory and systemic symptoms such as dyspnea, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, gastroesophageal reflux, and even heart failure. As the primary respiratory muscle, the diaphragm is pivotal in maintaining trunk stability and regulating intra-abdominal pressure, making its dysfunction capable of exerting profound impacts on overall health. Causes and Pathophysiology of Diaphragmatic Dysfunctions: Diaphragmatic dysfunctions can arise from a variety of factors, including: • Chronic stress, which increases tension in the diaphragm and surrounding fascia, • Myofascial trigger points, which impair muscle contraction and mobility, • Scar tissue, which limits fascial mobility, • Trauma, surgeries, or mechanical stress, which may irritate or impair the function of the phrenic nerve. The phrenic nerve, which innervates the diaphragm, plays a crucial role in the functionality of this muscle. Irritation or damage to the phrenic nerve can significantly impair diaphragmatic movement, leading not only to breathing difficulties but also to dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system and organ functions. Treatment Approaches: The combination of neural therapy and manual medicine has proven to be particularly effective in treating diaphragmatic dysfunctions. Injections targeting myofascial trigger points and segmental therapy can support diaphragmatic function. Manual diagnostics play a critical role in identifying segmental dysfunctions and fascial adhesions.
