That's great news! @Escribano I think at this point is safe to say that chiropraxy is woo and osteopathy is somewhere on the fringe, with studies suggesting some good results on some things it claims to do but also suggesting that it might have no effect at all on other things. I've personally had some good results in the past with osteopathy. However, I would just add that it's not because they "just manipulate with their hands" that they can't cause harm. Six years ago I walked into the office of a highly reputed osteopath for a minor problem in the upper neck. I walked out with severe tinnitus and that has been with me ever since, 24/7, to the point where I ended up having to get therapy to learn how to cope with it. And I don't just mean a small bout of ringing here and there, I mean loud enough that "real life" sounds seemed to be just faint background noises, loud enough to make sleep an almost impossible achievement. Since little is known about what causes tinnitus, I can't point to the osteopath and say he did anything wrong. All I know is that I walked into that office with no tinnitus at all, and I came out with a severe chronic case of it. Anyways, this isn't to dismiss all of osteopathy. I'm particularly fond of their "holistic" approach to certain things and yes in some cases it can work wonders. But it's more invasive than many people say and, as anything I suppose, it can be harmful. On the bright side, I can now cheat and act like I have perfect pitch. I don't of course, but I always have that reference "note" ringing in my head so I can find any note by comparing to it. Perfect relative pitch I guess [8D]
