Any Questions?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Osteopaths & chiropractors will usually be consulted by patients with similar injuries or conditions. The approach to patient care usually varies between individual clinicians as much as between professions. However, as a general overview, osteopaths tend to look at the body in a more holistic manner. This includes reviewing any muscles or joints that are related to the area of pain and injury, to determine whether they are involved or contributing. They will also usually ask questions around lifestyle, stress, and sleep, as changes here can help aid in the healing process.
