I used to work in an osteopathic clinic, so based on that experience,
Let me briefly explain the difference between osteopathic and chiropractic treatment in Japan!
You have probably often heard the term "osteopathic clinic! Osteopathic clinic is a national qualification in Japan, mainly called "Judo Therapist".
We mainly treat fractures, dislocations, sprains, and contusions (muscles). Treatment methods include
Manual Therapy⇨ Massage
Exercise Therapy⇨Preventing Injury by Improving Flexibility and Strengthening Muscles
Physical Therapy⇨Treatment is performed using special machines such as cold and hot compresses and electrotherapy.
Can be treated using Japanese health insurance. We will determine the type of injury and treat the muscles, joints, and skeletal structure to address the cause of the pain.
Whereas,
Chiropractic is a treatment primarily aimed at improving the health of the nervous system and the overall function of the body through spinal adjustments. It is believed that spinal distortions (subluxations) adversely affect the nervous system, causing pain and discomfort. Therefore, we use manual techniques to adjust the spine and joints to restore the body's balance.
Neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, back pain, nervous system problems (numbness and muscle weakness)
Chiropractic treatments include
Adjustment⇨A technique in which the joints are approached by hand as an adjustment to the spine.
You may want to take it once to experience the different ways of approaching it. ⭐️
