Osteopathic manipulative treatment
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is hands-on care provided by an osteopathic physician (D.O.). During osteopathic manipulative treatment, an osteopathic physician may move participants' muscles and joints using osteopathic techniques including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance, as well as thrust techniques that apply a quick, therapeutic force of brief duration that travels a short distance.
Usual care
Routine concussion management with healthcare professionals.
