The emergency department (ED) setting offers osteopathic physicians multiple opportunities to provide osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as either the primary therapy or as an adjunct to the intervention. In doing so, osteopathic physicians can decrease or eliminate the morbidity and symptoms associated with protracted dysfunction. Low back pain, chest pain, torticollis, asthma, and sinusitis are some of the illnesses in which OMT should be implemented as part of the management plan, note the authors. They provide a guide to the general usage of OMT when the aforementioned illnesses present themselves in ED patients, but also emphasize the importance of first ruling out any underlying illnesses that could be manifested by musculoskeletal symptoms.
急诊科为整骨疗法医生提供了多个机会，可将整骨手法治疗（OMT）作为主要治疗方法或作为干预措施的辅助手段。这样做时，整骨疗法医生可以减少或消除与长期功能障碍相关的发病率和症状。作者指出，腰痛、胸痛、斜颈、哮喘和鼻窦炎是一些应将OMT作为管理计划一部分实施的疾病。他们提供了一份指南，说明当上述疾病出现在急诊科患者身上时OMT的一般用法，但同时也强调首先排除任何可能由肌肉骨骼症状表现出来的潜在疾病的重要性。
