Osteo vs. Chiropractor
Osteopaths treat the whole body using manual techniques to improve overall function and circulation. Chiropractors focus primarily on the spine, using adjustments to correct misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. Osteopathy takes a broader, more holistic approach, while chiropractic care is more targeted to musculoskeletal and spinal issues. Both aim to reduce pain and improve mobility but differ in scope and methods.
Osteo vs. Massage
