In this case report with an accompanying technique video, the authors discuss a 34 year old woman who presented after having 5 cases of mastitis in 6 months that were managed with multiple courses of antibiotics. The patient was successfully treated with osteopathic manipulative treatment to the affected breast in 2 sessions and taught to perform self myofascial release at home.

The authors retrospectively reviewed the electronic health records of 194 pregnant patients who received osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) at a specialty outpatient clinic and characterized their demographic markers as well as their presenting conditions, with the purpose of helping clinicians to better understand the role of OMM as an obstetric adjunctive treatment approach and to identify conditions warranting investigation in future outcome studies.
