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:

  1. Cranial Academy (Click on Physician Finder)
  2. 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.
