What is a Chiropractor – What is the difference between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor?
A Chiroprator is very similar to an Osteopath in many aspects however there are a few fundemental differences. • Chiropratic treatment is primarily based on manipulation of the spine whereas Osteopathic treatment employs a wider range of techniques overall such as stretching, massage, pressure and mobilisation. • Osteopaths generally spend longer time with each patient, therefore osteopathic patients generally require less frequent treatments. • Osteopaths have a holistic approach to their patients and treat the underlying cause to the patient’s problem not just the symptoms.
