When worlds collide: Experiences of physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths working together
2022, Musculoskeletal Science and PracticeCitation Excerpt :In Australia, physiotherapists practice within both public and private health care settings, while chiropractors and osteopaths are generally limited to private settings. Despite some of these differences, these three MSK professions have been previously described (e.g., Harvey et al., 2003) as sharing more similarities than differences. Ideological tensions (Pettman, 2007), turf-wars (Redwood, 2002), and boundary-work (Norris, 2001) are known to exist between these professions, either at an individual or group level (Brosnan, 2017; Brosnan and Cribb, 2019; O'Neill, 1994).

2014, Manual TherapyCitation Excerpt :We pragmatically assessed OMT, using a multimodal regimen as practiced in clinical settings to complement usual care and self-care for chronic LBP. Several techniques included in our protocol were accepted for LBP treatment by professional associations representing chiropractors and physiotherapists (Harvey et al., 2003). Limitations specific to the present study include: systematic lack of data on biomechanical dysfunction for, and consequent exclusion of, 225 patients who received sham OMT; need for imputed data on biomechanical dysfunction in 5% and 23% of patients at baseline and week 8, respectively; that the moderate pain improvement threshold of ≥30% reduction classified patients with less beneficial pain outcomes as LBP non-responders; and that one-half of patients each received co-treatment with active or sham ultrasound therapy.

2014, Journal of Manipulative and Physiological TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Moreover, owing to the impossibility of blinding patients to the clinical examination and the consequential potential Hawthorne effect, patients' verbal response to pain provocative tests may have been influenced. In manual therapy, there are various concepts for the management of LBP including MK,16 Maitland,30,34 Mulligan,47 and various forms of spinal manipulation among others with different mechanisms of action.26,30,48–52 Even if the principles of treatment vary from one method to another, the underlying principles of manual therapy are to reduce pain.
