These data suggest that OMT can acutely improve hemodynamic control during engagement of the skeletal muscle pump and this was most likely due to improvement of structural restrictions to venous return.

We conclude that osteopathic treatment in the first months of life improves the degree of asymmetry in infants with postural asymmetry.

osteopathic treatments contribute to the improvement of cranial asymmetries in infants younger than 6.5 months old presenting with NSOP characteristics.

The present study suggests that OMT may have an important role in the management of preterm infants hospitalization.

This study is the first in the field showing no placebo effect on newborns.

osteopathic manual treatment has medium to large treatment effects in preventing progressive back-specific dysfunction during the third trimester of pregnancy. The findings are potentially important with respect to direct health care expenditures and indirect costs of work disability during pregnancy

Osteopathic manipulative treatment slows or halts the deterioration of back-specific functioning during the third trimester of pregnancy

did a randomized trial, showing OMT led to fewer and less severe ear infections in children. The results of this study suggest a potential benefit of osteopathic manipulative treatment as adjuvant therapy in children with recurrent AOM; it may prevent or decrease surgical intervention or antibiotic overuse.
