These practitioners overlap in the conditions they treat, the most common being musculoskeletal problems, sports and work injuries, back pain, and headaches. The main difference between them is in how they assess and treat the complaint.

Osteopathy
Osteopaths focus on pinpointing what’s stopped working well within the body to cause mechanical overloading and pain in the area that’s sore. Osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy. It focuses on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a whole.

Chiropractic
Chiropractors focus on diagnosing, treating and preventing musculoskeletal problems throughout the body. Chiropractors are experts in caring for the spine and neuro-musculoskeletal system.

Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists focus on physical movement and function for patients, most commonly after injury or surgery. Physiotherapists are experts in exercise prescription and aim to maximise a person’s physical capacity through movement and pain management.

Is a style of manual therapy that has been passed down through generations. This style of care utilizes aspects of all the above professions with the main goal of decreasing pain whilst increasing mobility and function. Our chiropractors and osteopaths at Yaksich Health Centre are very similar in the ways they practice manual therapy. Both are primarily focused on all aspects of spinal care, focusing on checking and correcting vertebral dysfunction and restoring healthy function of the spine, in turn allowing the body to function at its optimal potential.

We treat day to day injuries of the spine and upper and lower extremities. Some of the conditions we treat include:
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Shoulder pain
• Hip pain
• Sciatica
• Work-related and repetitive strain injuries
• Sports injuries

Some people need only a few visits and some people need more, but most mechanically related back pain (pain relating to musculoskeletal structures) should respond to conservative care within 4 – 6 treatments. However, this varies from patient to patient due to a multitude of factors. Our practitioners will perform a thorough health history and physical examination to determine an appropriate prognosis for your condition.
