Musculoskeletal Manipulation Course: Approaching Musculoskeletal Problems Using Osteopathic Medicine
This course is designed for physicians with little or no prior experience who wish to learn basic manipulation skills for assessing and treating common clinical problems. It will also serve as a good review for DOs who wish to refresh their skills, as well as those with expertise, but desire exposure to a method to teach osteopathic concepts. An osteopathic framework emphasizing soft tissue (ST), myofascial release (MFR), muscle energy (ME) and high velocity-low amplitude (HVLA) techniques will be used. Participants will learn focused examination tips and basic treatment techniques, working on each other as simulated patients. Techniques will cover cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas as well as special cases. Common clinical cases will be presented for attendees to solve using newly learned skills under instructor supervision to ensure competence and confidence.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Perform basic assessment and treatment techniques for common somatic dysfunction
- Treat musculoskeletal conditions involving low back pain, thoracic pain and neck pain using basic manipulation to the following areas:
- long restrictors (piriformis and psoas),
- sacroiliac joint,
- lumbar spine,
- thoracic region,
- cervical spine
- Demonstrate how to use of all diagnostic and treatment skills in a simulated 15 minute office visit
- Discuss how to appropriately bill and code when using Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment [OMT].
- Develop a curricular model to teach basic manipulation at each attendee’s individual training program.
- Review chart and supervision strategies for MD physicians who supervise DO residents doing OMT.
Course registration includes: Textbook: Basic Musculoskeletal Manipulation Skills: The 15-Minute Office Encounter, 2nd edition (hardcover), lunch and refreshment breaks, presentation materials and OMM labs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Drs. Evans and Rowane, the primary faculty of the course are the authors of “Basic Musculoskeletal Manipulation: the 15 Minute Office Visit, 2nd edition,” the accompanying textbook for the course. This course will teach basic assessment and treatment for low back pain, thoracic and neck pain with Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment [OMT]. The course, sometimes referred to as "Osteopathic Manipulation 101," is designed for both novice MD and experienced DO physicians who may feel a bit rusty as well as osteopathic physicians with expertise, but desire exposure to a method to teach osteopathic concepts will benefit from this course as well. The course is broken up into two parts. The first part is the basic OMT curriculum taught to DO and MD residents and attending physicians. The second part is a faculty development session to review teaching concepts and specific tips on supervising residents and students by DO and MD faculty. There is an optional 3rd day for added OMT training with a regional faculty as part of the CAOM January OMT Seminar on Sunday, January 29, 2023. In addition, this course is an ideal introduction for non-osteopathic students and attending physicians who are considering entering ACGME Osteopathic Recognition training programs.

COURSE BACKGROUND:
s course is an integration of formal curriculum in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine / Musculoskeletal Medicine refined over the past 20 years by Drs. Evans and Rowane. This course has been successfully given in Family Medicine, Sports Medicine and subspecialty residencies and fellowships as well as state and national conferences. The curriculum by Drs. Evans and Rowane for this course was developed to train primary care MD’s and tested as prospective randomized trial through the Sheps Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and published in Spine. [Spine 2000:25:22: 2954-2961.] This is an evidenced-based method to utilizing Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in a clinical setting presented in an understandable manner to engage all participants to obtain practical skills.
