Kelsie Cabrera, DO, assistant professor in the UNMC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, will speak at the next Olson Center for Women’s Health Brown Bag Lecture series, discussing osteopathic manipulative treatment for the OB/GYN patient.
Dr. Cabrera will speak from noon-1 p.m. March 16 online.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment, or OMT, is a set of hands-on techniques used by osteopathic physicians (DOs) to diagnose, treat and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, a DO moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques that include stretching, gentle pressure and resistance. Many conditions can affect one’s musculoskeletal system, and pregnancy can sometimes make women physically uncomfortable. OMT can offer relief specifically to pregnancy.
