Official title
Use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions: A DO-Touch.NET Card Study
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn how clinicians use osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for their patients who have problems only related to their muscles, bones, and joints (ie, musculoskeletal problems) compared to patients whose problems involve other body systems (eg, infections, breathing, bowel function). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What percentage of patients receiving OMT have a non-musculoskeletal problem? * Is there a difference in the OMT techniques when the patient's problems include a non-musculoskeletal problem compared to patients with only musculoskeletal problems? Surveys will be completed by the clinicians about 20 unique adult (age 18 or older) patients who have received OMT.
