In the United States, only a small percentage of licensed
Osteopaths practice Holistic Medicine. The majority are taught and practice
Allopathic (drugs & surgery) Medicine with little or no emphasis on Holistic
practices. However, some U.S. Osteopaths have learned Holistic Medicine
techniques. If you are looking for an Osteopath in the United States that
practices Holistic Medicine, please use the following resources:
- Cranial Academy (Click on Physician
Finder)
- Alternative Medicine
Practitioner Yellow Pages (Click on Yellow Pages Tab, Look for Osteopath)
If you are still unable to find an Osteopath who practices Holistic
Medicine, go to the Directories of
Practitioners web page and look instead for a Naturopath, Chiropractor,
Oriental Medicine Doctor, or Ayurvedic Medicine practitioner in your area. If
you were looking for a practitioner of Cranial Osteopathy, but could not find
such a practitioner, go to the International Association of Healthcare
Practitioners web page and look for a very experienced practitioner of
CranioSacral Therapy. You may need to see their link to course code definitions
on that page to find an experienced practitioner.
In
Canada the training is somewhat more "Holistic" at the Canadian College of
Osteopathy. However, there are no online referral databases. Therefore, you
can use the same steps discussed above for finding an Osteopath experienced with
Holistic Medicine. In addition, you can use the "Write to Us" link at the bottom
of the Canadian
College of Osteopathy web page to see if they can provide you with a list of
referrals.
In Europe & Australia, the Osteopaths
have much more training in Holistic Medicine techniques. Numerous online
practitioner databases can be found on the Osteopathy
Internet Resources web page.
