Osteopath & Chiropractor Team Members

What is the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?

 

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body functions as an integrated whole, and disturbances in one area can affect overall health. Osteopaths take a holistic approach to treatment, considering the interactions between the muscles, joints, nerves, and even the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

 

Chiropractics

The main philosophy of chiropractic is centred around the alignment of the spine, and how it affects the nervous system. Chiropractors work on the premise that misalignments in the spine (known as subluxations) can interfere with nerve function, leading to pain and dysfunction. Treatment is typically centred around controlled spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae.
