What is the Difference Between Osteopathy & Chiropractic?

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’ve finally had enough of simply putting up with your back/neck/joint pain, and you’re ready to seek treatment. But which treatment is the best option for your specific condition – chiropractic or osteopathy?

The “osteo vs chiro” discussion ultimately comes down to the nature and severity of the neuromuscular disorder you’re experiencing. As a generalisation, a chiropractor primarily focuses on spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and increase mobility in the affected area, whereas osteopaths will focus on treating soft tissue primarily, with adjustments as a secondary focus and thus may have longer appointments. Please note that all therapists work differently and there are different schools of thought in both Chiropractic and Osteopathy which can ultimately change the style of practice.
