Ok.. think I got it re OMM
I'm used to them being called D.O. doctor of Osteopathic medicine and I worked with at a hospital here that had a large number of them doing clinical hours (about half DOs and half MDs)... and have had several DO's. In fact while I was working there I used to get manipulated on a regular basis each week.. sometimes every day even!
Yeah.. the ones that are really gifted are incredible and then there are those that while they catch the theory aren't good at the practice or nothing to write home about.
I actually had a PT that was the absolute best at manipulation that I've ever encountered.. he was so gifted it was incredible. I credit him for helping me get over a lot of my chronic pain stuff from my failed '92 surgery and also helping me out incredibly during my worst migraine phase (began when I was 47 I think).
Anyway I think we're talking about the same specialty. I didn't really know about DOs either until I got the job at this hospital clinic and that was back in 1990 or so.
