Chiropractors focus mostly on spinal integrity, using x-rays of the spine to form a diagnosis: osteopaths use palpation (touch) of soft tissues (muscles, ligaments and tendons) and spinal positioning in conjunction with overall postural balance to form a diagnosis

Osteopath or Chiropractor?
NB when reading the following points, it is important to realise that there are as many similarities as differences between the two professions. Differences, when they occur, can be found not only between the professions but equally between practitioners of the same profession (e.g. in osteopathy: classical/structural osteopathy versus ‘cranial’ osteopathy; in chiropractic: classical chiropractic versus McTimoney chiropractic)
Chiropractors work mainly on the spine; osteopaths work on the spine but also on the whole body, including peripheral joints
Chiropractors use more manipulative techniques; osteopaths may use manipulation in conjunction with soft tissue and mobilisation (stretching of joints) techniques
