So you think bones and nerves don't have a basis in reality? What about "lumbago" - I mean, even "normal doctors" admit that nerves can get caught up in bones and cause problems?
I am surprised about the strong rejection of this suggestion. It is not homeopathy - I just checked Wikipedia and it seems to suggest there are at least some positive studies for Ostheopathy. Also giving Ostheopathy a try seems to be far less intrusive and less expensive than some other stuff "normal doctors" throw at you.
Sorry for going on about it, but I am just really surprised. I have another friend who has endured years of experimenting on her knee from normal doctors (usually not helpful). I don't know why she doesn't try Ostheopathy at least once - it would be neither more painful, time expensive nor money expensive than all the other stuff she went through.
I can imagine that maybe people are afraid of learning they wasted their time on the wrong thing or whatever. If that fear is worse than their plight, fine.
One problem is finding a good Ostheopath, though. I am not sure how one would go about it, without personal recommendations. It probably is not a label protected by the state, so finding a trustworthy practitioner would require some research.
(Yoga is even less expensive, at 10€ a pop - again a problem of finding a good class, though).
