Chiropractic, Osteopathy, and Physiotherapy

Understanding the key differences

When it comes to seeking healthcare services for musculoskeletal conditions and related issues, it’s important to be aware of the various treatment options available. Three popular and effective approaches that patients often consider are chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy. While these disciplines share common goals of improving physical well-being and enhancing quality of life, they differ in their philosophies, treatment techniques, and scope of practice. Today I would like to clarify the key differences between chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy, helping you make informed decisions about your healthcare choices.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors believe that many health problems stem from spinal misalignments, known as subluxations, which can interfere with the body’s natural ability to heal itself. They employ hands-on techniques to manipulate the spine and other joints, aiming to restore alignment and alleviate pain.
To be a chiropractor, you would need 4 or 5 years of full time study. Currently, there are only 5 university colleges in the U.K. that offer a chiropractic degree. To practice legally in the U.K., every chiropractor has to become a member of the GCC (General Chiropractic Council). Everyday, millions of people go to see a chiropractor presenting with lower back pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, disc problems, headaches. The benefits expand beyond pain relief: clients oftentimes report increaed sleep quality, better digestion, more awareness regarding their posture, better breathing, and so on. 

Treatments often involve spinal adjustments, where controlled force is applied to the joints to improve mobility and reduce pain. These adjustments can be accompanied by other techniques such as massage, stretching, and physical therapy exercises. Chiros may also provide lifestyle advice, including recommendations on nutrition and exercise.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic healthcare approach that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body’s structure and function. Osteopaths believe that disturbances in the musculoskeletal system can affect other bodily systems and overall health. They focus on diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, through manual manipulation, stretching, and massage techniques.

Osteopathic treatments typically involve gentle manipulation of the joints, muscles, and tissues to improve mobility, restore balance, and promote natural healing. Osteopaths take a comprehensive approach, considering the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and environmental factors when determining treatment plans. They may also provide advice on nutrition, stress management, and exercise to support overall health and well-being. 
The course of study vary from country to country and the curriculum is not uniformed.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare discipline that aims to restore movement and function to individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists focus on assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Physiotherapists are re-hab specialists. 

Physiotherapy treatments involve a variety of techniques, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, electrotherapy, and education. Physiotherapists work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. They may also provide advice on posture, ergonomics, and injury prevention, as well as assistive devices and techniques to enhance mobility and independence. The course of study is 3 to 4 years.

Comparative Analysis

While chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy share similarities in their dedication to musculoskeletal health, there are key differences that set them apart:

Focus: Chiropractic primarily focuses on spinal alignment and its impact on overall health. Osteopathy takes a broader perspective, considering the interrelation of the body’s structure and function. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and function in individuals affected by various conditions.

Treatment Techniques: Chiropractors predominantly use spinal adjustments and manipulation techniques. Osteopaths employ a wider range of gentle manual techniques, including soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation. Physiotherapists employ a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and specialized equipment.

Scope of Practice: Chiropractors and osteopaths may have a more specialized focus on musculoskeletal conditions, while physiotherapists address a wider range of conditions affecting multiple body systems.

Chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy each offer unique approaches to musculoskeletal health. By understanding their differences, you can make informed decisions regarding your healthcare choices. Consulting with healthcare professionals from each discipline can provide valuable insights and help you determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs, ultimately leading to improved well-being and quality of life.

Techniques

Osteopathy

Osteopaths commonly use soft tissue techniques to address muscular tension, imbalances, and restrictions. These techniques include soft tissue manipulation, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. By applying gentle pressure and stretching, osteopaths aim to relieve muscle tension and improve tissue flexibility.

Joint Mobilization and Manipulation

Osteopaths employ various manual techniques to restore joint mobility and function. They may use gentle rhythmic movements, known as mobilization, to encourage joint motion and reduce stiffness. In some cases, when deemed appropriate, osteopaths may perform joint manipulation, which involves a quick, controlled thrust to restore normal joint movement.

Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)

MET is a form of osteopathic treatment that involves active participation from the patient. The patient is instructed to contract specific muscles while the osteopath applies a counterforce to encourage joint mobility. MET can help restore proper alignment and function to joints and muscles.

Counterstrain Technique

Counterstrain is a gentle and non-invasive technique used by osteopaths to relieve pain and reduce muscle tension. It involves finding tender points on the body and placing the affected muscle or joint in a position of ease, thereby reducing pain and promoting relaxation.

Visceral Manipulation

Osteopaths recognize the importance of the body’s internal organs and their relationship to overall health. Visceral manipulation involves gentle manual techniques applied to the organs and surrounding tissues to improve mobility, blood flow, and organ function. It aims to restore balance and optimize the body’s self-healing mechanisms.

Chiropractic

Spinal Adjustments

Spinal adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, are the hallmark of chiropractic care. Chiropractors use their hands or specialized instruments to apply controlled, sudden force to specific areas of the spine, aiming to correct subluxations (misalignments) and restore proper spinal function. Spinal adjustments can help alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance overall nervous system function.

Extremity Adjustments

In addition to the spine, chiropractors also perform adjustments on other joints in the body, such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. Extremity adjustments involve applying targeted force or gentle manipulation techniques to improve joint alignment, reduce pain, and enhance range of motion.

Mobilization

Chiropractors may use mobilization techniques to gently move joints through their natural range of motion. Mobilization involves slow, rhythmic movements applied to the joints and surrounding tissues, aiming to reduce stiffness, increase flexibility, and improve joint function.

Manual Therapies

Chiropractors may incorporate various manual therapies into their treatment plans, including massage, stretching, and myofascial release techniques. These therapies can help relax muscles, reduce tension, and improve overall tissue function.

Respiratory Therapy

Chiropractors specializing in respiratory care employ techniques to optimize lung function and breathing. This includes breathing exercises, postural techniques, and airway clearance techniques to help individuals with respiratory conditions manage their symptoms, improve ventilation, and enhance overall respiratory function.

Therapeutic Exercises

Chiropractors often prescribe specific exercises and rehabilitation programs tailored to the individual’s condition and goals. These exercises aim to strengthen muscles, improve posture, enhance stability, and support the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments

Physiotherapy

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy techniques form a significant component of physiotherapy. These techniques involve hands-on mobilization and manipulation of joints, muscles, and soft tissues to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance tissue function. Manual therapy techniques commonly used by physiotherapists include joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.

Therapeutic Exercises

Physiotherapists prescribe specific exercises tailored to the individual’s condition and goals. These exercises aim to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and coordination. Therapeutic exercises can include stretching, resistance training, cardiovascular exercises, and functional movements. The physiotherapist guides the patient in performing exercises safely and effectively, and may modify the program as the patient progresses.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy involves the application of electrical energy for therapeutic purposes. Physiotherapists may use various forms of electrotherapy, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound therapy, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). These modalities can help reduce pain, promote tissue healing, improve circulation, and manage inflammation.

Heat and Cold Therapy

Heat and cold therapies are commonly used by physiotherapists to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing. Heat therapy, such as the application of hot packs or warm water, helps increase blood flow and relax muscles. Cold therapy, through ice packs or cryotherapy, can reduce swelling, numb pain, and control inflammation.

Taping and Bracing

Physiotherapists may utilize various taping and bracing techniques to support injured joints or muscles. Kinesiology tape, for example, can provide support, stability, and pain relief while allowing for functional movement. Additionally, braces or orthotic devices may be recommended to protect and immobilize injured areas during the healing process.

Education and Advice

Physiotherapists play a vital role in educating patients about their conditions, self-management strategies, and injury prevention. They provide guidance on proper posture, ergonomics, body mechanics, and lifestyle modifications to support optimal physical health and prevent re-injury.

Rehabilitation and Functional Training: Physiotherapists are skilled in designing comprehensive rehabilitation programs for individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic conditions. Rehabilitation may involve a combination of exercises, functional training, balance training, and activities aimed at restoring independence, improving mobility, and enhancing overall functional abilities.

It’s important to note that while these techniques are commonly associated with osteopathy and chiropractic, individual practitioners within each profession may employ a range of techniques based on their training, experience, and patient needs.

Edoardo was way beyond professional efficient and helpful. Being his regular clients gives me peace of mine. His care was absolutely outstanding when I had a back injury and needed professional help in the peak season of weddings. Edoardo not only helped me in person but kept in touch with me kinda like being on call and was keen to respond my messages and thanks for his professional care and enthusiasm I was able to recover quicker than I thought! Would only recommend him and his services to anyone to protect your health and prevent downfalls with body alignment. Absolutely amazing business!

I was first introduced to Alive Chiropractic two years ago when I was in a lot of neck and shoulder pain. It was then detected that my pelvis needed adjustment. Alive Chiropractic have worked on these areas so I now suffer very little pain , this is because I receive monthly maintenance appointments. There is no reason to be in pain as Alive Chiropractic are always at the end of a phone. I am currently suffering from sciatica which again is now being treated.I would fully recommend Alive Chiropractic,Edo is a very warm, welcoming caring and does not judge.

When I first visited Edo, I was struggling with poor posture and persistent back pain. In a surprisingly short period, my posture improved dramatically—I now stand up straight effortlessly, something I never thought possible. The constant upper back pain I had has almost completely gone. Edo's approach to treatment is very holistic, he doesn’t just treat the symptoms but provides guidance to achieve overall improved health and well-being. I now feel that I have a much greater understanding of my body, and how to look after it properly!

I have had back pain for many years and tried lots of different ways to ease it, with no success. From my first appointment at Alive Chiropractic Clinic, I could feel an improvement. I am so pleased with the results after a 12 week course. The clinic is superb and Edo is friendly and supportive. I will continue to visit the clinic and recommend to everyone!

I have been a patient of the Alive Chiropractor clinic for the last six weeks. Following a stroke in March 2022 I had been suffering with a walking imbalance and general lack of mobility. I would say that my improvement stands somewhere between 60-70% already. I would happily recommend the clinic to anyone that is suffering to book themselves an appointment.

A fantastic chiropractic experience!Dr Edo provides a whole body approach to resolving chiropractic issues.

I’ve been adjusted by Dr Edoardo for a number of years now, since I’ve been under care I’ve never had any problems but most importantly he helps me keep my nervous system healthy through maintenance care which allows me to be more in control in all of my day to day activities and keeps my mind healthy. His adjustments are gentle and precise and he is really kind and makes you feel at ease in any moment. Highly recommend!

This is my first experience with chiropractic ever, and it has been life changing! I have a slipped lumbar disc and I was in lots of pain and had very limited mobility. I saw Edo for a few appointments and not only did my back get better, it has stayed that way since! I am doing the exercises he prescribed and now I am only seeing him for maintenance and I feel better than ever, more relaxed and aware of my posture overall . He is a good listener, very informative, professional and communicative.

A wonderful experience so far with Dr Edo at his clinic in Poundbury. I have come away from my first six sessions feeling so much more aware and in tune with my body, and I have experienced noticeable changes in my body and mindset also.Dr Edo is professional, knowledge, and believes firmly in his work which he is clearly passionate about. I feel he has an empowering vision, cares deeply, and has a refreshing balance of western and eastern understanding. Because of this, Dr Edo has a deeper, holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of one's lifestyle (diet, exercise, mental/emotional state) in sessions. For someone like myself who values a holistic perspective on health, Dr Edo's approach is invaluable and helped me relax and feel at great ease. Sam in reception is lovely and you instantly feel welcomed when coming in for a session also. Thank you to you both. Highly recommend!
Chris Copeland
20:59 16 Aug 23
Dr. Edo has a very calm temperament and his knowledge aids in your own relaxation, which is a help when your own flexibility, mobility or posture are far from relaxed. Sam, the Chiropractic assistant, is the first person to greet you when you arrive and will explain the fundamentals of the practice. The practice is clean, modern and has ample road side parking. The whole experience has been a success and I am now able to move without pain, the new mobility gained will enable me to get on with life and have new experiences and adventures, for this I thank you.

I attended Alive chiropractor after seeing a special offer they were offering and suffering from a bad back for a long time it felt like a good idea to go see what they said. Since this I have been attending twice a week and the improvements are happening. Edo is very knowledgeable and really wants the best for you he doesn't just care about the back or other pains you may be having but also acknowledges the impact these things can have on you emotionally and personally. I can't recommend this service enough.

Regular sessions with Dr Edo at Alive Chiropractic have made such a big difference to my posture, my way of working at my desk and taught me how to manage my breathing, all of which have led to a big shift in my mindset towards looking after myself and my body.I will happily recommend Alive Chiropractic to my friends.
Paul Nicol
08:22 30 Sep 22
I have just finished initial treatment for my back problem. Appointments with the NHS in the past have never resulted in a diagnosis let alone treatment. However at Alive I received a diagnosis and treatment plan on the initial consultation. This set out exactly how I was going to be treated and cost. Following the treatment I could not be healthier or happier. An exceptionally professional service in which Dr Edoardo Elisei seems passionate about what he does. It is more than just a hands on treatment on his 'couch', but a full lifestyle treatment ensuring exercises and diet are in balance to assist recovery and as a preventative for the future. I would be happy to recommend to anyone.

Edo is a great professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He corrected my posture in only few months, he said this was going to happen and I couldn't believe it, it was so fast and happened, the changes not only I could feel them but also you can see them. He did the adjustments with a lot of care, with a lot of patience he took the time to give the advices and exercises that I could benefit my posture in the future. I totally recommend him.

When I first met Dr Ed I had problems bending, and worst of all I could hardly move my neck. I was a total painful wreck.Ed takes a very holistic approach, encouraging me to lose weight and work on different rehab exercises to reinforce the manipulations and adjustments he made.Here I am some three months on, I weigh a lot less, I have incredible flexibility in my lower back and can now touch my toes and, best of all. I have full flexibility of my neck.Eds holistic approach really works, he is very approachable and easy to chat about things with.One caveat, Ed knows when you haven't done your exercises so don't cheat. :)I cannot thank him enough for the massive improvements in my health and his encouraging me to make little changes for a healthier long term lifestyle.
Elaine Daniel

I saw Edo in March and he was so informative regarding my spinal issues. I have had many treatments from him over the past few months and feel so much better and have more movement and less pain. He provides exercises for clients to help with strengthening muscles which is all part and parcel of chiropractic healing. I would recommend going to see him anytime.
