Abstract:

This was a prospective study conducted on 15 patients who were randomly chosen from the practice population of a neuromusculoskeletal medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine/family practice private office. Ninety-one somatic dysfunctions were examined in this study, using three different osteopathic diagnostic techniques, including: Fryette’s physiologic motion diagnosis, Johnston’s functional method – segmental definition diagnosis and segmental myofascial diagnosis (previously defined by the primary investigator). Each patient was also examined for Zink’s fascial diagnostic patterns. The three different OMT techniques that were used in treatment included: Johnston’s functional methods, muscle energy technique and a integrated neuromusculoskeletal release using segmental anterior/posterior approach (previously described by the primary investigator). The results indicate that a somatic dysfunction is made up of a constellation of findings representing aberrant function in multiple aspects of the Neuromusculoskeletal system whose treatment is as complex as the problem/s it represents.
