Which Joint Cocktail Should I Choose? As Physical Therapists we often find ourselves on the forefront of many new modalities

By Lorin G. Last month I wrote a blog about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It’s a disease which consists of a combination of chronic bronchitis, the inflammation of the larger airways, and chronic emphysema, swelling of the alveoli or air sacks of the lungs. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Two days after writing that essay, a 49 year old patient (we will call him Howard) at the Skilled Nursing Facility where I work died of COPD. In light of this, I think it is especially pertinent to revisit the subject of therapy and COPD to see what may have been done from our perspective to prevent or delay this event.
