Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on treatment approach that focuses on the body as a whole. The Osteopathic Practitioner helps patients to achieve pain relief, gain better overall mobility, enhance organ health, reduce cranial sacral restrictions, and support their natural healing process.
Both Chiropractors and Osteopathic Manual Practitioners focus on spinal alignment and joint mobility. Chiropractors primarily use high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal adjustments to correct joint dysfunction. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use joint mobilization and myofascial release techniques to reduce bodily tension. Both professions work well together as part of a patient’s circle of care.
