The Use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Treatment of Sore Throat, Headache, and Facial Pain: A Case Report

Abstract

This case report describes the unusual occurrence of acute sinusitis without cervical lymphadenopathy and the application of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine to treatment of the ensuing somatic dysfunctions. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment techniques normalize the somatic dysfunctions and result in resolution of the patient’s presenting symptoms. Of note, normalization of the SBS torsion appeared to spontaneously resolve the sacral dysfunction in this patient.
