What is the difference between Chiropractic and Osteopathy? This is one of the most frequently asked questions that I get asked and it has been answered many times, interestingly, in many ways, some of them, unfortunately, not always complimentary to one or the other profession. In the UK, Chiropractic and Osteopathy are very similar disciplines, with a large portion of their workload being very similar. For all their similarities they have the ability to behave like vampires and werewolves, in that they commonly don’t seem to mix and are always ready to tear each other apart. So let’s look at the historic foundations of these professions to see why they are so similar and if there is any reason for all that animosity.
We are moving our BLOG as well as updating it.

Every Osteopath I’ve visited (only a couple I have to admit) have been heavily into homeopathic selling…. turned me off very much seeing these guys. Also their adjust methods seem to be whole body adjustments more so than specific adjustments…. or targeted adjustments. I prefer how Chiro’s work and the results I received.I have seen a couple of bad ones, but the last 3 were fantastic. You can really tell the difference between a good and a bad once you have seen both. If you are not getting results I strongly urge you to see a different one. Just like a GP.
