What's the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?


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.

What training do osteopaths receive?


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). 

Are osteopathic clinics registered?


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

Do osteopaths put bones back into place?


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.
