Not sure whether to book Manual Osteopathy or Chiropractic care? Both treatments focus on improving movement, reducing pain, and helping the body function better — but they often use different approaches. Chiropractic treatment typically focuses more on the spine, joints, and nervous system, often involving adjustments/manipulation to improve mobility and alignment. Manual Osteopathy tends to take a broader whole-body approach, incorporating soft tissue work, joint mobilization, cranial techniques, visceral work, posture, and movement patterns to assess how different areas of the body are connected. Some patients prefer one style over the other, while many benefit from a combination of both depending on their goals, symptoms, and comfort level. The good news is that Dr. Schmidt offers both, allowing treatment to be tailored specifically to what your body needs.
