Osteopathy and chiropractic are both forms of treatment which can be used to treat musculo-skeletal problems e.g. back and neck pain.
Often, though not always the techniques used are very similar and the results obtained are comparable. One of the main differences is in the language that the practitioners use.
Osteopaths talk in terms of the correct movement of joints and muscle tightness, chiropractors, however, talk in terms of the positioning of joints.
