Abstract

Aim: Anxiety is a prevalent mental health condition, affecting over 30 percent of all U.S. adults at some point in their lives. Current treatment options such as prescription medications and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may not be accessible or desirable for all patients. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on treatment modality that may provide a safe, low-cost, non-pharmacological intervention for reducing symptoms of anxiety.
