Faculty members in the Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, Optometry and Physical Therapy published the work of their randomized, controlled study examining the efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy in patients with vertigo and somatic dysfunction. In alignment with the spirit of WesternU, this study was interdisciplinary in nature and incorporated osteopathic medical students, a current second year osteopathic medical student and one who has graduated and is a family medicine resident. https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2765332
