How do Osteopaths differ from Chiropractors?
Chiropractors graduate from a four-year chiropractic program and are not required to have a post graduate residency. They are licensed to manipulate the spine and connective tissues. Osteopaths complete a four-year medical training before embarking on an internship and residency of at least three years, in hospitals training in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Neurology, Pediatrics, Rheumatology, Psychiatry, Ob/Gyn, and other specialties. An osteopathic medical license allows an unlimited scope of practice.
