Anyone tried an osteopath for a sports injury?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any success seeing an osteopath? My physiotherapist suggested I see one as my ankle bone is fixated between two of my leg bones since I rolled on it playing soccer. I've done a bit of googling about what an osteopath is, and I am quite skeptical of alternative medicine in general... Physiotherapy hasn't been working and I may need to have surgery, so at this point I am desperate enough to consider other ideas and trying to keep an open-mind...

Anyone have any positive (or negative) experiences with an osteopath?

Thanks
