Chiropractor vs Osteopath β whatβs the difference?
Both chiropractors and osteopaths can use similar hands-on techniques, such as dry needling, soft tissue work, and stretching, to help release muscle tension and improve movement.
The key difference is their philosophy:
Chiropractors focus on the spine and nervous system as the foundation of your health, while also addressing posture, muscles, and joints.
Osteopaths take a broader view of the musculoskeletal system, considering how bones, muscles, and tissues work together to support balance and overall function.
At Vital Health, our chiropractors take a whole-body approach β combining adjustments with exercises, lifestyle advice, and techniques like dry needling β to help optimise your health at every age.
