Hi there. Do you know about osteopathic medicine?
Just a tiny bit. Can you tell me more?
Sure. Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine. It focuses on physical manipulation of bones/tissue.
Oh wow. What ailments can it cure?
It's used mostly for treatment of lower back pain, though some claim it's effective for neck and shoulder pains too.
Oh really? So is it the same as what chiropractors do?
Osteopathy is similar, but not quite the same as chiropractic treatment.
Oh okay. Have you ever seen a chiropractor?
I haven't. Thankfully, I have never needed to see one. I am skeptical about their efficacy as well.
Do you mind if I ask why that is?
