Good and Bad Osteopathic Research
Dr. Cohn gives an example of bad research: in the “Journal of American Association” under Osteopathic Manipulation studies, almost invariably, the conclusion of the study is that Osteopathic Manipulation is as good as MD treatment. Dr. Cohn recommends having better inclusion and exclusion criteria which is knowing the likely cause of a patient’s pain to help inform the type of treatment needed to cure them, rather than grouping patients’ cases under Osteopathic Manipulation and non-Osteopathic Manipulation.
Difference of Osteopathic Manipulation from Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractors are also physicians but are taught to focus on the spine while Osteopaths, being full-fledged physicians, look at biomechanical and peripheral problems while incorporating medicinal or injection therapy.
