diaphragm-related disorders

Diaphragm-related disorders involve problems with the diaphragm, the major muscle that helps us breathe by contracting and relaxing to move air into and out of the lungs. Conditions such as diaphragmatic hernia, paralysis, or weakening can impair breathing, cause chest pain, or lead to difficulty catching breath. These issues may result from injury, nerve problems, or congenital defects. Treatment varies from physical therapy and respiratory support to surgery, aiming to restore normal diaphragm function and improve breathing. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to address symptoms and underlying causes effectively.
