Prospective, Multi-center, Cohort Study of the Cost Effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain
The specific aim of this study is to conduct a prospective, multicenter cohort study over

standard of care plus osteopathic manipulative treatment (experimental group, N=90) in a
cohort of 180 consecutive patients seeking treatment for chronic low back pain at three
osteopathic clinics and three allopathic medical clinics (offering only standard care)
located in three different regions of the United States.
