Yes, I'm sure some do, Annie.
But perhaps they should try it first.
I have only ever had positive experiences - and without being stuffed with strong pain killers and pills, too.
I know which method I prefer.

I think they can dispense meds as you say, and also organise x-rays.
The only Osteopath I ever saw, was many years ago, and he was a brute! I really don't like all the sudden bone clicking they do.
He used to look after the injured at the Northampton football club - but I'm not a 6ft footballer.

Re: Chiropractor
I used to go to a local Chiropractor and while he wasn't bad in the end only an operation solved the problem. I was also going to a physiotherapist and it was he that sent me to my GP with a note saying the problem was bigger than he could solve.It has been 23 years since the first operation but I am still getting about, still going for walks, still travelling. I have wonderful painkillers for the occasions when I overdo it.
Chirprators might be good for small problems but sometimes medical intervention is the only way to go.

Bruce, I agree there would be some problems where surgery would have to be the only answer unfortunately.
I'm glad you got sorted though, and still managing well.
