The clinic is amazing. The fellowship of learning together and witnessing new doctors expanding their knowledge is a privilege. I am a lifelong advocate of OMM and cannot thank you enough for the opportunity.
Student Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Clinic
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a technique used to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems and medical illnesses.
The main purpose of this clinic is to provide supervised hands-on experience in OMT for second-year osteopathic medical students. While the osteopathic profession uses a variety of treatment modalities, the focus of this clinic is on osteopathic manipulative medicine.
For over 25 years our Student OMM clinic has served the surrounding area, bringing OMT treatment to 1000s of patients.

Student OMM Clinic Makes a Difference
I’m walking better and without as much pain. Thanks
A great asset to the community
Everyone should experience this treatment. In a world of pills to treat everything, this is a welcome breath of fresh air. Being in pain does not have to be part of aging.

The students in the clinic were compassionate, personable and truly wanted to help. With their care, I experienced a decrease in pain. They also provided practical strategies to prevent additional pain.
I’m thankful for this local free clinic that supports individual health and wellness.
The student clinics were my first exposure to OMM. I didn’t know what to expect. As a person who had a broken back and doctors who wanted me to do injections and a lifetime of medications, I was amazed. I come back yearly and I love the students. They are knowledgeable and professional.
I had a great experience during the WVSOM Student OMM Clinic. It has helped my ribs and neck improve.
