Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is a manual modality of treatment used to treat the impaired or altered function of the musculo-skeletal system (somatic dysfunction). With roots in ancient Greek "frictions," manual manipulation has long been a part of health care. Today's OMM was first practiced by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., the founder of modern osteopathic medicine. In the United States, its country of origin, OMM is used by D.O.s along with surgery and medication in treatment of patients. Outside the United States, OMM practitioners generally limit their scope to manual manipulation. Some techniques used are:
- High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust (HVLAT)
- Myofascial Release
- Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
- Trigger (or Myodysneuric) Point Therapy
- Soft Tissue Technique
- Lymphatic Pump
- Counterstrain
- Balanced Ligamentous Tension (BLT)
