An Osteopath must study, like a medical doctor, for 4-5 years and spend at least 1000 hours in training. Osteopaths seek to establish what has impaired self-healing to allow the disease to develop in the first place. Osteopathy and mainstream medicine compliment each other very well. Osteopaths can treat people who are on any combination of medication for any number of illnesses as there can be no drug interactions.
