Experimental Treatment
Group I: Osteopathic groupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Treatment will be compromised of 8 weeks of standard care plus OMT. Each physician will maintain the same patient at recurring sessions. Osteopathic treatment is performed for 30 minutes and the techniques applied are highly individualized to the patient needs (i.e., techniques are selected based on structure/function, and techniques change over time based on treatment response). In an effort to standardize treatment, we will limit the study protocol to the following designated techniques: facilitated positional release treatment, high velocity low amplitude treatment, articulatory treatment, strain-counterstrain, muscle energy treatment, myofascial release treatment, soft tissue treatment.
