Thanks for reading! Read my first post on DO to grasp the training compared to a MD....they are equivalent but distinct.

This link provides more on the differences between DOs and DCs

"The primary difference between chiropractors and osteopathic physicians is that D.O.s are fully trained physicians, entitled to practice in all states and in every branch of medicine. Both D.C.s and D.O.s are trained to take a holistic, wellness-oriented approach to patient care, using manipulation to remove impediments to the body's ability to heal itself. In practice, some osteopathic physicians use manipulation techniques frequently while others treat their patients through more conventional methods. Chiropractors depend primarily on manipulation, because their narrower scope of practice prevents them from prescribing medication or practicing medicine in the broader sense."

As far as techniques, I would need to study what chiropractors use more to compare. The techniques used in my article were designed by osteopathic physicians.
