| | osteopath - definition of osteopath in Encyclopedia |
 | | The osteopathic movement and chiropractic movements both started out in the United States Midwest in the 1890s and had similar philosophies; however, osteopathy came to adopt the use of medicine and surgery, whereas chiropractors continue to strictly use manipulative techniques. | | | Osteopathy is a medical body that includes physicians practicing in all fields of medicine, and osteopaths are fully-licensed physicians in all fifty states of the United States. | | | The original osteopathic movement, viewed today by scientists as pseudoscience, was founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, who was born in 1828 in Virginia. |

| | What Is Osteopathy? |
| | "Osteopathic medicine is a philosophy of health care and a distinctive art, supported by expanding scientific knowledge; its philosophy embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism's structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). | | | In particular, it is concerned with the inter-relationship between the structure of the body and the way in which it functions and is therefore an appropriate form of therapy for many problems affecting the neuro-musculo-skeletal systems. | | | While osteopaths are perhaps best known to the general public as specialists in treating disorders of musculoskeletal system, osteopathy is actually a complete (holistic) primary healthcare discipline not just for bad backs and stiff necks. |

| | Osteopathy |
| | There are several techniques that the osteopath may use to treat the patient's condition, such as spine cracking, soft tissue technique which is similar to massage, osteopathic manipulative therapy which is used to restore movement in the musculo-skeletal system, or movement of the joints to restore muscle alignment. | | | Osteopaths use a wide variety of approaches to treatment and can bring relief or improvement to many conditions affecting, for example, children, the elderly, sportsmen and women, or to problems which arise during or after pregnancy. | | | A thorough knowledge of the basic medical sciences followed by an extended period of clinical training is central to the osteopath’s ability to make a differential diagnosis and to distinguish conditions which are amenable to osteopathic treatment from those which are not. |
