The objective of this study was to determine whether a brief educational intervention given to club collegiate athletes would affect injury rates, perceived pain, and compliance toward injury prevention practices.

The objectives of this study were to measure and compare the process and longitudinal outcomes of chronic low back pain treatment provided by osteopathic and allopathic physicians and to identify mediators of the treatment effects of osteopathic medical care.
