Answers: From Wikipedia,
Osteopathic medicine (known as osteopathy in the past) is a branch of medicine which views the human body holistically, and emphasizes the prevention and treatment of illness and injury through the use of manual and physical therapies, along with traditional medical practices such as drugs and surgery. Doctors of Osteopathic medicine (D.O.s) educated in the United States are fully licensed physicians equivalent to M.D.s. Osteopaths educated in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have a scope of practice limited mainly to musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of some other conditions by manual means.
The traditional osteopathic approach emphasizes the significance of the neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) system to one's general health and well-being, and the role of NMS dysfunction in the etiology of many diseases. A key goal of osteopathic medicine is the maintenance of healthy body mechanics using a holistic approach that also includes traditional western medicine.
An osteopath is a fully licensed and acredited medical doctor, specializing in osteopathy. The medicine he practices is simular to that of a chiropractor.
He is trained in the medical manipulation of the body to promote healing. An osteopath, being a medical doctor, can perscribe medications, which I do not think a chiropractor can. An osteopath CAN also be a surgeon.
Your question is listed under alternative medicine, which is incorrect. Osteopathic medicine is very mainstream.
It worked for me.
