A retrospective review examined data on all OMM consultations between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2015. Reasons for consultations in a free text field were grouped into categories of \u201cprimary reason for consult\u201d by a single reviewer. Demographics and patient location were also assessed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Of 1310 total consultations included in the study, 620 (47.0%) listed a musculoskeletal complaint as the primary or only reason for a consultation, 231 (18.0%) of which were for back pain, followed by neck pain (69 [5.0%]) and headache (46 [4.0%]). The next most common reason for consultation was for newborn feeding difficulty (352 [27.0%]) or other newborn consultation (66 [5.0%]). A total of 272 consultations (21.0%) were not limited to musculoskeletal complaints and included general nonspecific discomfort (96 [7.0%]) or respiratory complaint (53 [4.0%]). A total of 209 (16.0%) consultations noted patients to be postoperative; 124 (9.5%) to be postpartum; 57 (4.4%) to have cystic fibrosis; and 21 (1.6%) to have constipation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The majority of inpatient OMM consultations were placed for musculoskeletal complaints, followed by newborn feeding problems. Although it is clear that some physicians think that OMT will help their patients for the aforementioned conditions, the number was still quite low, suggesting that many physicians may be unaware that OMT can help patients with conditions such as respiratory disorder, postoperative recovery, and constipation. There are many opportunities for treatment teams to be ordering OMM consultations as a way to reduce morbidity in their patients.<\/jats:p>\n
