What is a osteopath, what consists the osteopathy session??

Question:

I don't need the word meaning, but to know what consists this job and the session? It's an alternative medicine? And what do they do to improve one's health?
I'm asking because someone suggested me to go see one to relief my back pain (after went to the doctor, he told me I was fine and it was nothing physical, maybe it was due to stress).
Thanks for helping me out. If you ever been to a osteopath, tell me about it.

Answers:
An Osteopathic doctor is like a cross between an MD and a chiropractor. He has both kinds of training. So he will use things like X-rays, alternative remedies and chiropractic adjustments to help you with your problem.

He/she can do chiropractic adjustments but also give shots and stuff that a normal doctor would do. Best of both worlds.
