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. In Ontario, Canada, you can find a
Osteopath referral at the Ontario Association of Osteopathy at:
http://www.osteopathyontario.com/. However, in other areas, there are
no online referral databases. Therefore, you can use the same steps discussed
above for finding an Osteopath experienced with Holistic Medicine.
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.
