OMT is a unique and effective treatment for inertial
injuries (so-called whiplash). These total body injuries alter the anatomic and
physiologic balance of the body and respond well to immediate treatment.

The efficacy of OMT on spasmotic torticollis as determined by improvements in
volitional movement. JAOA: The
Journal of the American Osteopathic Association 1993 Sep;93(9):950
Pilot study
assessed whether OMT was effective in alleviating some of the movement disorders
in patients with spasmotic torticollis (ST). Treatment twice weekly for 4 weeks
showed an increase in overall balance performance as well as reaction time (RT)
and movement time (MT) of the arms and hands. The most dramatic changes occurred
in head/neck RT and MT, indicating large improvements. These quantitative
measurements indicate that OMT is effective in alleviating some of the dystonias
associated with ST.
