Information for Other Health Professionals

Osteopaths often work as part of a multi-skilled health team. Health professionals in other disciplines often employ Osteopathy as adjunctive therapy.

The more common treatment combinations are:

Medical Doctors

To reduce the requirement for pharmacological treatments especially in musculo-skeletal conditions.

Neurosurgeons

To avoid surgery where osteopathy proves effective, or to improve mobility where there is nerve impairment.

Podiatrists

Complimentary therapies in the treatment of muscular/skeletal instability due to disorders associated with the lower limbs.

Pathologists

Visceral complications affecting circulatory or diseases associated with the human pathology.

Radiologists

When OMT is not as effective as expected, such as in conditions which are congenital or developmental in origin, radiologists can provide essential information which establishes the underlying physiology of the disease, and assists the osteopath in treating these conditions.
