Generally, a chiropractor will assess where subluxations (out of place bones) occur and work to straighten them out. Osteopaths are more interested in how you move, including the joints and their surrounding muscles and tendons, and how they affect the problem area

Osteopaths in New Zealand currently receive five years of full time training, including a degree in health sciences and a Masters in Osteopathic Medicine. All osteopaths are expected to update their skills (current requirement is 25 CPE points per year).

The Health Professional Competency Act (2003) makes it compulsory for all osteopaths to be registered with the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand (OCNZ).

Manipulation is only one tool osteopaths’ use. However, the sound of ‘popping’ of a joint back into place to achieve greater mobility, is actually from an air bubble of Nitrogen popping.

An osteopath will examine your structural and the functional ability of your body and how that effects the issues (pain) you have. As well as possible advice on stress management, exercise and diet. Osteopaths can treat all areas of the body where you might get pain, from headaches to ankle sprains.

We will talk about your current and previous injuries, your medical history, examine your pain free movements, perform orthopaedic and Neurological exams and examine the feel of the tissues. After this, treatment can be given.

This depends on the severity of the injury and how long you’ve had it. We will help you through the acute stage as soon as possible, then provide you with the tools to maintain your recovery.

Typically it involves work on the soft tissues, and sometimes mobilisation and manipulation of joints, depending on your injury, age, medical history and requirements. Advice can also be given on possible required lifestyle changes.
