Osteopathy (DO vs MD) includes a wide range of skills and protocols. Osteopathic manipulation is a subset of cranial-sacral therapy. Many osteopaths eschew cranial reading and manipulations and focus just on the spinal manipulations. Not quite a chiropractor level of 'pop' spinal manipulations. More of a massage the vertebra into place.

There is a wide range of skills and treatment philosophies within the DO industry so what one person may find beneficial, another person or different osteopath may have different results.

It is a 'ya gotta find the right one' kind of situation.

I've been examined by a few osteopaths with no benefit.

You will find anecdotal benefits. Patient X saw this benefit when treated for symptom Y by DO Z.

So, you will find some success stories just as some neuros are helpful. Even some PCPs are helpful. It just depends.

What symptoms do you have that you found that DO's could possibly help ?
