When and why to see a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist or Osteopath
Breaking down which specialist to go to for which kind of ailment, treatment and after-care.
While there is crossover between physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic, each method of
treatment uses different approaches and techniques.
We all know the feeling of having a niggling twist, twinge or sprain but not quite knowing
where to go to get it fixed.
A trio of practices — physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy — are available to treat a
vast array of skeletal and muscular issues, each with different approaches to achieving full
movement and mobility.
Of the three areas, physiotherapy is part of traditional medicine, while osteopathy and
chiropractic are classified as alternative medicines. And while each can be considered alone
for treatments, there are areas of crossover, as well as injuries which require a
multidisciplinary approach to achieve wellness.
