Re: chiropracter? / Osteopathy...

Folks might also want to consider Osteopathy. An Osteopath is similar to a

chiropractor but is accepted by AMA and is considered to be a real M.D. as

opposed to Chiropractors who have their own type of doctorate outside of the

rest of the medical profession. When I was first treated for my

neuropathies, I was sent to an Osteopath as part of physical therapy; they

manipulated parts of my body (in a non painful way) to get me back into

proper alignement and also gave me ultrasound treatments to break up the

fascia buildup in my ankles. I felt great afterwards!

Lamar here,

many chiropractors make claims they can not keep. Others work with the medical

doctors. We have one here that shares an office with an MD. In an area rehab

hospital one is on the staff, making rounds with the neurologists, neuro

surgeons, PT's etc. I have been helped by a chiropractor several times, but

with my recent back problem it was the chiropractor that referred me to the

neuro-surgeon. Allopathic medicine is starting to recognize chiropractors,

acupuncturists, massage therapists, and even some herbologists.

Other chiropractors make fantastic claims of treating everything, and keep you

coming back forever. Many of these attended one school that teaches more about

advertisement and making money than helping. It all depends on the philosophy

of the one you see.
