Osteopathy is a system of healthcare that applies a unique philosophy to diagnosis and treatment. With a strong emphasis on the inter-relationship of the body's nerves, muscles, bones and organs, osteopaths apply the philosophy of treating the whole person (holistic approach) to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness, disease and injury using manual and physical therapies (OMM).
Osteopathic medicine is practised by osteopathic physicians in the United States. Osteopaths educated in countries outside the U.S. are referred to by American osteopathic physicians as "non-physician osteopaths". Their scope of practice is limited largely to musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of some other conditions using manual treatment (OMM), not unlike chiropractors (although the distinction between the two professions remains important to both). For a description of osteopathy in the US, see Osteopathic medicine.
History
Osteopathic practice began approximately 120 years ago in the Midwest of the United States. Early in the twentieth century, the American osteopathic profession adopted the use of medicine and surgery, whereas chiropractors continue to use strictly manipulative techniques. Outside of the US, particularly in the United Kingdom, osteopaths tended to stay closer to the traditional approach. More on [ Osteopathy ]
