Can An Osteopath Do Everything A Chiropractor Can?
The chiropractor that I was recommended by my doctor is really an osteopath and I have to have it on private health care and not on the NHS. Can an osteopath do everything a chiropractor can?

No, a chiropractor specializes in aligning the spine whereas an osteopath manipulates and aligns other areas of the body. Osteopaths often use drugs in their treatment whereas a chiropractor does not.

Basically yes, they can. But if they actually do will be another question.
Many Osteopaths get off in crazy treatments having absolutely nothing to do with spinal manipulation.
Give them a try and see what you think.
(For that matter a lot of Chiropractors don’t do any spinal manipulation either since it’s easier to sell the public hocus pocus than something which actually works.)
