As osteopaths, we get asked a lot what the difference is with ACC when it comes to osteopaths, physiotherapy, and GPs.
There are key similarities between all three. But also a few differences.
Our main areas
π osteopaths can start ACC claims , no need for a referral from GP. No wait.
π osteopaths can refer for basic imaging like xrays and ultrasound, just like physios.
π GPs & doctors are the only ones who can complete an ACC medical certificate
π Rehab for us at The Holmes Clinic we provide exercises and Rehab specifically for you, just like physiotherapy
π Our appointments times are longer so we can understand your story and how your injury influences your life
