The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of osteopathic treatment in infants with postural asymmetry. Sixty-one infants with postural asymmetry aged 6 to 12 weeks were recruited. Thirty-two infants with a gestational age of at least 36 weeks were found to be eligible and randomly assigned to the intervention groups, 16 receiving osteopathic treatment and 16 sham therapy. After a treatment period of 4 weeks the outcome was measured using a standardized scale (4–24 points). The difference was significant (p=0.001). The conclusion was that osteopathic treatment in the first months of life improves the degree of asymmetry in infants with postural asymmetry. (Philippi et al., 2004) Incidence of iatrogenesis associated with osteopathic manipulative treatment of pediatric patients. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted looking for documentation of aggravations or complications subsequent to OMT. Of 502 pediatric patients' medical records reviewed, 346 met the inclusion criteria of two or more office visits for which adequate follow-up data were available. No treatment-associated complications were documented. Osteopathic manipulative treatment appears to be a safe treatment modality in the pediatric population when administered by physicians with expertise in OMT.
