Chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy are all healthcare professions that focus on musculoskeletal health, but they differ in their philosophies, approaches, and techniques:

1. Chiropractic: Chiropractors primarily focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine, through manual adjustments or manipulation of the spine and other joints. They often believe that misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can affect overall health and well-being.

2. Osteopathy: Osteopaths also diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues, but they take a more holistic approach, considering the body as a whole. They use manual techniques like manipulation, massage, and stretching to improve mobility, relieve pain, and promote overall health. Osteopaths may also incorporate lifestyle and dietary advice into their treatments.

3. Physiotherapy (Physical Therapy): Physiotherapists focus on restoring movement and function to individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. They use a variety of techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and education to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence. Physiotherapy often involves rehabilitation after surgery, injury, or stroke, and aims to improve overall quality of life.

While there may be some overlap in the conditions they treat and the techniques they use, each profession has its own distinct approach and scope of practice. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
