Does anyone work with a DO osteopath? I am considering
scheduling an appt with one.

Thank you. I saw a rheumatologist who prescribed meds and exercise. My nurse practitioner has been my go-to medical person but it is not doing anything to address my pain so I asked for a DO referral (through Kaiser) I am just following my nose here! Can you please tell me what the DO did that is different than a regular MD?

I had osteopathic therapist...he used therapy to reduce pain and taught certain stretches to keep things moving better....

Thanks, I made an appt with a DO at Kaiser. (he is a doctor) It looks like he is worth talking to.

He is very good with pain management.
