My daughter recently had a wreck and has to see an osteopathic doctor soon
Oh wow I am sorry, that consists of manipulation of joints and bones.
yes, she is currently having to wear a back brace.
Is her lower part of her body okay? Her pelvis?
actually it is her lower lumbar...L4.  She is only 17, I hope it doesn't affect her for life
Well if it's any consolation osteopaths can work in all fifty states with full rights.
well, that's a start I suppose!  I wonder if insurance covers it?
That would depend on your health insurance if it fully covers the injury.
