Hello\ud83d\ude03Mitsuki!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I used to work in an osteopathic clinic, so based on that experience,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let me briefly explain the difference between osteopathic and chiropractic treatment in Japan!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You have probably often heard the term \"osteopathic clinic! Osteopathic clinic is a national qualification in Japan, mainly called \"Judo Therapist\".<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We mainly treat fractures, dislocations, sprains, and contusions (muscles). Treatment methods include<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Manual Therapy\u21e8 Massage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Exercise Therapy\u21e8Preventing Injury by Improving Flexibility and Strengthening Muscles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Physical Therapy\u21e8Treatment is performed using special machines such as cold and hot compresses and electrotherapy.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whereas,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, back pain, nervous system problems (numbness and muscle weakness)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chiropractic treatments include<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Adjustment\u21e8A technique in which the joints are approached by hand as an adjustment to the spine.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You may want to take it once to experience the different ways of approaching it. \u2b50\ufe0f<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hello\ud83d\ude03My name is Mitsuki!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I would like to briefly explain the difference between osteopathic and chiropractic treatment in Japan!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am sure you have often heard the word \"Osteopathic Clinic\"! An osteopathic clinic is mainly a professional profession with a Japanese national license called \"Judo therapist\". Symptoms that can be treated at an osteopathic clinic include<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fracture, dislocation, sprain, contusion (muscle)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These are the four main types of injuries treated at an osteopathic clinic.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Manual Therapy\u21e8Massage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Physical therapy is covered by Japanese health insurance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We determine the type of injury and treat the muscles, joints, and skeletal structure that are causing the pain.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, chiropractic care is mainly for the spine, and<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chiropractic is a treatment method that aims to improve the health of the nervous system and overall body function mainly through spinal adjustments. It is believed that spinal distortions (subluxations) adversely affect the nervous system, causing pain and discomfort.

Adjustment \u21e8A technique in which the joints are approached with the hands as a spinal adjustment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
