Chiro vs Osteo ?
Osteopathy and chiropractic are manual therapies that link the body’s structure to its function but differ in focus and approach. Osteopathy views the body as an interconnected whole and uses gentle techniques—stretching, soft tissue work, and joint manipulation—to restore balance and support natural healing. Chiropractic focuses on the spine and nervous system, using precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) that may affect nerve function. In the U.S., osteopaths (DOs) are fully licensed physicians, while chiropractors (DCs) are not medical doctors and focus solely on spinal therapy. In Europe, both are manual therapists. Overall, osteopathy is holistic, whereas chiropractic mainly targets the spine and nerves.
Do we use cracking techniques ?
As an osteopath, I tailor treatments to each patient’s needs and preferences. If you’re comfortable with it, I can include joint “cracking” techniques for a more targeted effect. If you prefer a gentler approach without any cracking, I adjust the treatment accordingly. My goal is always to support your body’s natural healing in the way that suits you best.
