OsteopathyOsteopaths and chiropractors use many of the same diagnostic techniques and treatment methods. Osteopaths use manipulation and specific thrusts similar to chiropractic to restore mobility to the musculoskeletal structure of the body. Diagnostic techniques are also similar to those of chiropractic. Methods for treating acute or chronic back pain depend on the cause of the problem, and range from gentle massage to ease muscle tension, to pressure and stretching techniques to restore mobility to the joints. Several studies have shown that osteopathy can aid in the recovery from lower back pain.
