Osteopathic manipulative medicine can be a useful tool in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of various mechanical low back disorders, including facet syndrome and spinal stenosis.
Osteopathic manipulation is useful as an adjunct to other treatments for acute and chronic pain and plays an important role in algorithms for back pain and other conditions that cause musculoskeletal pain.
Osteopathic physicians are uniquely positioned to treat patients with chronic pain. They have a holistic approach to patient care, encompassing the integration of structure and function, emotional and social aspects of health and healing, and a more heuristic biopsychosocial approach to pain assessment and management.
