Abstract:

We believe that the free osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) Clinic for employees at Downey Regional Medical Center (DRMC) has resulted in lower workers’ compensation fees for the medical center and less claims overall because of ease of access and early treatment of musculoskeletal complaints before symptoms necessitate a worker’s compensation claim. Based on the data presented in this research we can conclude that a prospective study is needed. Not only would this study help the hospital financially; employee health and satisfaction would also increase.
