Osteopathic medicine in the US, is a branch in the medical area.
I've heard of it. What differentiates it from other types of medicine?
Well, they are medical doctors that can practice in all 50 states, and even in Canada regions. 
Oh, ok. Are they sort of like chiropractors?
They do manipulate joints and bones, diagnose illness and treat them.
Hmm, interesting. Sounds as if they're a mix of traditional medicine and alternative medicine. Does that sound right?
Yes, and many call it the new jazz of medicine for that reason
Well, I like jazz, so perhaps I should look for an osteopath!
