What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy was founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in the USA and has now branched into two fields: osteopathic medicine (in the United States) and osteopathy (outside of the United States). Osteopathy is an established internationally recognized manual medicine system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths use a variety of hands-on physical treatments. These include soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization & manipulation, muscle energy treatment and functional (strain and counter strain) techniques. These techniques are normally employed together with exercise, dietary, and occupational advice in an attempt to help patients recover from pain, disease and injury. European style Osteopaths do not prescribe medications or perform surgery, while American osteopathic physicians (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine-D.O.) are medical physicians who are trained and licensed (depending on specialty of course) to practice osteopathic medicine (not osteopathy) and diagnose illness, perform surgery, and prescribe medications as well as using osteopathic techniques in managing a patient's condition.
