Let me tell you about osteopaths and I know because I'm married to one. Their medical school training is slightly inferior to allopathic MD training. Their main problem is after medical school where there are too few residencies and half enter MD programs. There is no animosity toward DO's as we take them into our residencies. The main difference is their manipulatory teachings which don't have much scientific basis. I'm still waiting for my wife to show me her technique!

I injured my shoulder last December 17th and went to my regular doctor in May. I've lost 25% of the use of my arm. He said exercise it, that will be $125.00.

I suppose I will weigh in on this debate about the various medical specialties. I have no medical knowledge myself, so I am at the mercy of the practitioner I visit. If I have a sore back, as I almost always do, I go to my Chiropractor. If I have a cold, I go to my General Practitioner. I once visited an Osteopath for a neck problem so severe that it was visible from the outside even by me. He warmed up my muscles and straightened my neck out, which took about an hour. For this he charged me $12. Of course, that was in 1974 when a dollar was a dollar. My wife's doctor admitted in my presence that medicine has a certain amount of witchcraft to it. I believe many practitioners of all kinds are very good but it is necessary to choose wisely. And take your skepticism with you. That gives some of the demolibs here a problem, I realize. They tend to believe almost anything.
