State-of-the-art office evaluation and treatment options for symptoms of an overactive bladder

Many other symptoms are seen in patients with an OAB. Using state-of-the-art technologies, we can quickly evaluate most of these patients in the office setting. The medical history and physical remain the mainstays of evaluating these patients. As osteopathic physicians, we have the unique ability to focus our evaluations by fully understanding the neurologic and muscular physiology for this condition. The osteopathic physician has an advantage when applying a complete musculoskeletal examination as part of the physical. We can potentially uncover other contributing conditions that are perhaps easier to treat. As our research and the osteopathic profession expand, perhaps we can formulate newer treatment opportunities using manipulative medicine. This article focuses on the current and practical treatments available to our patients.
