Yes, but they do not prescribe medication...it kinda goes against their philosophy of healing in this pill crazy quick fix society. Plus it makes a clear distinction between MDs and DCs.

Yes, an osteopath can diagnose. And yes, you have to go through medical training to be a doctor, kevbone. Medical Doctors go to medical school, osteopaths go to osteopathic school, chiropractors go to chiropractic school, eye doctors go to ophthalmic school (i think), dentists go to dental school etc etc etc. And archenemy is correct. You will get a good diagnosis seeing an osteopath, a doctor of physical therapy (i think they can legally diagnose in some states), or a chiropractor. I would see a chiropractor for garden variety muscluoskeletal stuff - even up to mild-moderate neurological damage -just like I'd see the family doc for garden variety colds and prescriptions (like hypertension or high cholesterol). I'd see an osteopath if there was major trauma. I'd see a PT for rehab from major trauma. Just the way I'd go about it. And sirwoofalot comment unfortunately rings true, just like I feel what happens when I used to go to my medical doc for my musculoskeletal complaints.

Instead of trashing them on the internet, why don't you write them a letter? Sometimes even great companies totally fuck up with a particular individual, and I'm sure they will do something if you write to them. Guide services aren't in it to make millions, they only exist because they love what they do. So please don't trash a small business who major customer base would read this. It's fun to trash talk large organizations and companies (REI anyone?), but it's just not appropriate to do so with small shops, gear companies, and guide services in such a small, tight knit community.

My dick literally coughed up a cloud of gatorade powder when I tried to pee.

Kudos to all that suffered the billion degree heat to get some while the emerald city got douched. I felt bad though, I didn't bring a hot climbing girlfriend as all seemed to have -I don't believe Wayne's 15 year old daughter (who is a climbing superstar) counted.

you need to rethink your life if this is a question that you feel needs attention.

I'd see the chiro 1st because they can diagnose you, something massage practitioners cannot do. As for Tx if it isn't something "bad", it takes a while before the inflammation is going to subside, and yeah low back pain episodes can feel like you're literally going to die and take a week or two to calm down. If you don't get Tx it may go away completely, but it is guaranteed to come back. You can call me if you want some advice (pm me for my #)

It's so good too. The prions make it spicy

Cool!

They make a fucking awesome rare hamburger

I got a list of like 100 names on my insurance. Anyone know of a good one in Seattle near Queen Ann/Freemont/Downtown? For those that MUST know, I need my nose cauterized (too much blow).

hell yeah!

I'll probably get hired at a practice tonight after dinner with the doc.

Are those bike shorts! Dude. Not cool.

Agreed. Good case for cell phones.

Aw man, that's just terrible! Not too surprising, but terrible nonetheless.

John, you're overworking your biceps and creating inflammation. Take a break you big lug. And all that other stuff: ice, massage, stretch. I doubt trigger points are the culprit. Watch out man cuz it's pretty easy to rupture that tendon at your elbow, or impinge it in your shoulder.
