West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine Campus Webcam

If you develop a crick in your neck from spending too much time viewing webcams on your laptop, the graduates from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine would soon put you right. And you probably will get a crick in your neck staring at this attractive building – especially if you join the cam when the campus is covered in snow as what you’ll see wouldn’t be out of place on a Christmas card.

The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine opened its doors in the early 1970s with a capacity for less than forty students. After major renovations to the building, which was originally a private military facility for boys, the school can now accommodate almost eight-hundred students each term. That’s a fact that demonstrates the increased interest and viability of alternative medicine.

While in the 19th century the practise of osteopathy, then just a hands-on manipulation of the body, was believed to be of little value healthwise, time has proved the doubters wrong. Modern osteopathy, while still an alternative to regular health care in most cases, is recognised and practised not just by osteopaths, but medically trained practitioners and surgeons too. And none of them would be pulling your leg when they tell you a few sessions may well make you feel a whole lot better in body and mind as long as you keep taking your pills.
