Osteopathic Research

Osteopathic research focuses on studying the principles and practices of osteopathic medicine, which emphasizes a holistic approach to healthcare. This includes examining how osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) affects patient outcomes, the effectiveness of osteopathic care compared to traditional medicine, and the overall benefits of looking at patients' physical, emotional, and social well-being. Researchers aim to provide evidence-based information that supports osteopathic methods and helps integrate them into broader healthcare practices. Ultimately, this research seeks to enhance patient care by validating the unique contributions of osteopathic physicians.
