Question
Hello,
What's the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?
Thanks, Rob
Hello Rob,
Osteopath will specialize in disease that affects the bones. A doctor of Chiropractic is the only doctor in the world licensed to adjust/move the joints back into place, thus we specialize in the biomechancis of the spine and joints of the body. Chiropractic has it's foundation in relieving pressure of the nervous system and works with your body to help it heal naturally.
Let me know if you need more info. I have been out of town, sorry for the untimely response.
