An MD vs a DO is nothing to worry about because the 2 degrees result in the same type of competent physician.

My mom had cancer and was going to a DO. She wanted an MD. Switched her insurance to go to an MD at UCLA. When she got there she told him she had been going to a DO and wanted an MD. The MD chuckled and told her, “We all get the same training, go back to your DO.”

Your DO can pop your back.

@Soccerrockker6 6 месяцев назад

@SaucyWench88 the way chiropractic medicine is performed is a joke 90% of the time. Popping your joints does absolutely nothing besides some mild and temporary relief. It's much more risky than it is helpful unless they're actually having you perform physical exercises along with your joint treatment.

no, DOs are medical doctors. They take the same 4 years of med school and 3-7 years of residency training as an MD. They do take an extra class during their first two years called which is a physical treatment of musculoskeletal issues, but that's really the only difference in training between DO and MD. A physical therapist does 3 years of physical therapy and no specialty training years. @@sherbet3657

Yeah the only benefit of being a DO is developing palpating skills that can some times lead to finding out you just have a muscular or skeletal issue instead of a real issue and you can’t start with more conservative treatments.

@Iurien 5 месяцев назад

A DO was the only one to finally listen to me about my lifelong chronic issues, and helped me to get the proper diagnoses I needed to understand what I should do to help myself. He ran tests no MD or PA would do, and talked to me in a way that made me feel like I was actually being helped. Meanwhile, my experience with MD’s/PA’s has always been incredibly demeaning and, at its worst, life-endangering. Glad to see DO’s get their exposure through this video and the comments. ❤️

DO is amazing. They do adjustments, like chiropractors, but its not concussive or painful. They gently press on pressure points. I'm hypermobile and my ribs are often sore and "out of place", my chest gets tight and gets difficult to breathe. I've never breathed better than after one adjustment from a DO I worked for. It was the best relief I've ever felt. I could really take a deep breath in! And it didn't hurt!

@SuperNerd57 Год назад

When I had to act like a proper adult and pick out a doctor for myself I did a bunch of research about the difference between DOs and MDs and honestly I now look for DOs first before I consider MDs when picking a doctor. I like the holistic mentality that goes with the DO training, and the comfort that they are just as knowledgable as any MD.

@lauradoty1505 Год назад

If you are experiencing pain, you can ask about OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment.) It is a mix between techniques in physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic work, and even a bit of traditional eastern medicines. DOs that have kept up with the techniques can check you for somatic dysfunction (dysfunction in muscle, tendon, myofascial, etc.)

@ConstantineIII Год назад

Ya most DOs haven't adjusted a patient in a long time. Maybe check with their comfert level first before you ask them to lol

They also stopped benzodiazepines which my MD had me on since I was 14 along with a insistence that I stay on riddilan at 40. I have been weined off 8 medications lost 20 lbs. Went from a 24 bmi to a 18% BMI. Yes I have medications for my elipisy and a mood stabilizer. So I don't have medications counter acting each other. I feel 💯 better using swimming and working out especially my hip, I'm old but the stress relief was enough to stop benzos also not being hyped up and anxious because I was on unneeded riddilan. That and she talks to me explains why values my opinion seeing as I know my body and I am a nurse, which I appreciate.

On average, it also tends to be a bit easier to get into DO programs.
