What’s the difference between a Manual Osteopath and Chiropractor?
A manual osteopath does not diagnose. Although some of the techniques may seem similar to the methods used by a chiropractor, manual osteopaths do not use HVLA techniques.
What makes Manual Osteopathy successful?
Manual Osteopathy uses techniques that mobilize joints, muscles and ligaments. Chronic muscle tension or spasms restrict the function of the body leading to pain and or loss of mobility. By releasing the muscles and ligaments, we relieve the compression of the surrounding structures and thus improve function and mobility.
Is manual Osteopathy covered under insurance?

Is manual osteopathy painful?
Manual osteopathy is a gentle modality; however, some patients with chronic pain may feel muscle stiffness the next day after treatment.
