Dear neverdem ping.
My grandmother said it was the easiest birth of her eight children (with an Osteopath). I can only say (having had the benefit of all the high tech advancements during the birth of my son) that considering she had the other seven at home, I would take her recommendation with a grain of salt.
May I also say that I’m glad she is resting peacefully with her Lord as I write this, otherwise, she’d slap me silly and give me such a tongue-lash you couldn’t believe! ;-)
Makes perfect sense to me. I treated back pain in pregnancy with wine-and-7up, but osteopathic treatment would have been nice.
DO are not medical doctors. They may NOT use the designation MD.
My wife had back problems when she was pregnant with our son. Her doctor, a DO, performed a manipulation that relieved her pain. We had DO’s as our family doctor for years.
