[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 114579, member: 84"] Barb In my understanding, osteopaths treat the whole person, not just the disease/disorder/symptoms more than is taught in reg medication school. They tend to avoid surgery as a last resort, although this may depend on the given doctor, too. OD's are as common around here as MD's. I'll admitt, I had ALOT of trouble trusting someone not trained the what we consider the "traditional" way. However, actually, OD's have been around just as long as MD's have. (which is why they're allowed to practice medicine.) The family as a whole has been treated by a few OD's. I've found, just as with MD's, there are good ones and bad ones. [/QUOTE]
