Who gets on my nerves?

My osteopath.

And I pay him to do it.

Oh dear

You into crystal healing and homoeopathy as well? Because, scientifically, they're just as valid as osteopathy.

I think you're
wrong. While there are definate areas of total barney bullshit (cranial osteopathy for example) a large percentage of osteopathic procedures have a solid basis in medical fact.

I Think

I'll go with my missus on this one. She's an orthopaedic surgeon (you know, the one with a medical degree, a surgical degree and 5 years training) and her, and all of her colleagues, agree that osteopathy is bullshit. All of it.

Quackwatch also agree.

Physiotherapy
is good. Proper medicine and science.

Osteopathy is pure hokum. It's quack science and has no greater effect than a placebo. If they're lucky. If they're unlucky they die of a stroke caused by the manipulation.
