Abstract
Abstract Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent gastrointestinal motility disorder affecting 10% to 20% of children in the United States. Many patients affected by this disorder are medically managed with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2 receptor antagonists for prolonged durations. Here we present a pediatric patient with GERD refractory to chronic use of PPI. The patient received Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and had close follow-ups over 5 years. The patient reported significant relief in symptoms and improved daily performance within weeks of treatment. His symptoms are now being fully controlled by OMT without regular medication. This case report illustrates the advantages of utilizing OMT in the pediatric population.
