Do these DOs have anything to do with osteopathy? (basically the Dr. that women reaching menopause see who are worried about the detioration of their bones?)
I didn't mean to denigrate them, just to draw the parallel that they use physical manipulation to realign and 'relance' (?) the vertibrae (mostly), and the cranium to bring the body back to optimal health.
(In connection with some schools of chiropractic who urge parents to use them as a PCP, and they dissuade the use of vaccinations, saying a healthy body can fight off diseases by itself.)

You appear to be confusing the condition, "osteoporosis" with the profession of osteopathy. You might go here..www.academyofosteopathy.org and learn about DO's here in the States.......

DO's can be anything from Cardiac Surgeons to GP's....They most certainly could be specialists ( my experience is they have been Radiology or Ortho Drs..) in osteoporosis also.......

FWIW
