Osteopathic manipulative treatment in the emergency department for patients with acute ankle injuries

Data clearly demonstrate that a single session of OMT in the ED can have a significant effect in the management of acute ankle injuries.

Osteopathic manipulative treatment of a 27-year-old man after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Following ACL reconstruction and OMT, the patient showed increasingly stable mobility in the lumbopelvic region. Furthermore, episodic new dysfunctions readily resolved with OMT.

The immediate effects of muscle energy technique on posterior shoulder tightness: a randomized controlled trial

A single application of an MET for the GHJ horizontal abductors provides immediate improvements in both GHJ horizontal adduction and internal rotation ROM in asymptomatic collegiate baseball players. Application of MET for the horizontal abductors may be useful to gain ROM in overhead athletes.

Moore SD et al (J Orthop Sports Phys Ther, 2011)

demonstrated that among collegiate baseball players, OMT lessened shoulder tightness.

Urology

Effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative therapy for managing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome: a systematic review

provides preliminary evidence that OMTh may be beneficial in the treatment of patients with IBS

Gastrointestinal Disease

Qualitative evaluation of osteopathic manipulative therapy in a patient with gastroesophageal reflux disease: a brief report

OMTh applied to the diaphragm and esophagus may improve symptoms of GERD and should be added to the somatovisceral approach to the care of patients with this condition.

Urology

[Long-term effects of osteopathic treatment of chronic prostatitis with chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a 5-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial and considerations on the pathophysiological context]

“osteopathy should be taken seriously as a treatment for patients with CP/CPPS. Furthermore, due to the osteopathic treatment the patients learnt to alleviate or even eliminate their own symptoms in treating themselves. In order to help many other affected persons out of their dilemma it would be desirable if more urologists and internists would become acquainted with osteopathy in order to be able to offer this to patients at an early stage.”
