🦴 Osteopathy & Chiropractic 182 listings

Both are registered manual therapists, but osteopathy usually treats the whole body and uses gentle movement and soft-tissue techniques, while chiropractic focuses more on the spine and joints, often with specific adjustments. Many people choose based on the type of pain they have, or see both.

In Australia you can usually book directly without a referral. If you have a GP care plan or private health extras cover, you may be able to claim part of the cost back, so check with your fund before your first visit.

The practitioner will ask about your symptoms and medical history, examine your posture and movement, then explain a treatment plan. Wear comfortable clothing and bring any scans, referral letters or medication lists you have.
