Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is the most visible distinction between osteopathic physicians and allopathic physicians, and the osteopathic medical profession recognizes the proven clinical efficacy and value of OMM. The recently published report by the US Army Surgeon General's Pain Management Task Force provides a strong endorsement for the Army to increase the practice of OMM, to create OMM continuing medical education opportunities, and to improve research in OMM's role in pain management. This comprehensive restructuring of the Army's approach to pain management provides a unique opportunity for the civilian osteopathic medical profession-the true OMM experts-to collaborate with Army osteopathic physicians in OMM training, teaching, and research.
整骨手法医学（OMM）是整骨医师与全科医师最显著的区别所在，整骨医学专业认可OMM已被证实的临床疗效和价值。美国陆军军医局局长疼痛管理特别工作组最近发布的报告大力支持陆军增加OMM的应用，创造OMM继续医学教育机会，并改进关于OMM在疼痛管理中作用的研究。陆军对疼痛管理方法的这种全面调整为民间整骨医学专业——真正的OMM专家——提供了一个独特的机会，使其能够在OMM培训、教学和研究方面与陆军整骨医师展开合作。
