Abstract:

Some of the most incompletely documented aspects of the use of manipulative medicine are the factors that determine whether or not a physician uses OMT in practice, and if OMT is used, what techniques are chosen. This study utilized a comprehensive survey to study the OMT practices of the graduates of the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM). The results were correlated with the instruction available at TCOM during the study years. A majority of practicing graduates do use OMT in their practice but some of the methods used required post graduate training in OMT. Overall, the frequency of OMT use, the methods chosen, and the problems frequently treated with OMT indicate widespread use, but dissatisfaction with the level of OMT training is noted at the undergraduate and graduate level.
