My mother Joyce (68/1 year) just started a 3 or 4 month program of osteopathic manipulations. The purpose is to help her with her head, which is moving forward and down. I was able to attend the first session. It is different from chiropractic manipulations; after heat, as the doctor performs the manipulations, the patient performs some simple exercises. My mother said she felt a bit better after the first session. She will go once a week. She also attends the osteopathic institute for an exercise program once a week. Unfortunately, her insurance will not pay for the physical therapy program offered there. She is planning to see the MDS there. The good thing is that all the doctors and therapists work in conjunction to help a patient. I will let you know how these manipulations go. The doctor commented that her upper back and neck are in spasm and very tight (something my mother could already tell). The doctor also worked on her legs and her left side (her affected side).
