Alternative & Complementary Medicine Directory

Born over a century ago from the belief that displaced bones, nerves, and muscles are at the root of most ailments, osteopathy has long since merged into the medical mainstream. Most practitioners still use osteopathic manipulative treatment to correct harmful "obstructions" in at least a few selected patients, but they also stand ready to provide all other forms of medical care. The majority of osteopathic physicians (DOs) enter family practice, and you can use them the same way you'd use any other family physician.

Although originally used to treat virtually all forms of disease, osteopathic manipulation per se is now considered useful primarily for musculoskeletal disorders such as back and neck pain, joint pain, sciatica, sports injuries, repetitive stress injuries, and some types of headache.
