Somatic Dysfunction
Somatic dysfunction is the term given to body mechanical problems that are treatable with OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment). Specifically it has been described as alteration of the muscles, bones, or joints and the flow and health of the related blood vascular system, nervous system, and lymphatic system. Somatic dysfunction has been implicated to play a significant role in the health of every organ system of the body.
