I have to disgree for a while with future fate.
He is correct when he say Still (founder of Osteopathy) and Palmer (founder of Chiropractic) Knew each other. Palmer was one of Andrew Stills students although it is unclear whether he have his ideas about chiropractic before studying Osteopathy or go on to develop them afterwards. I suspect he had his ideas before studying Osteopathy. Still and Palmer be at odds and it wasn't until both were very ancient that they reconciled their differences and started talking and sharing techniques.
However, Osteopathy is not some kind of fringe subject qualified at Naturopathic Schools in the UK.
Their are 7 Osteopathic teaching Institutions in the UK. 2 of them school naturopathy but only in addition to Osteopathy as these are both primarily Osteopathic lessons institutions.
Most Of the graduates from these 2 colleges do not go on to practice naturopathy. Source(s): UK trained NZ registered Osteopath

Osteopathy – a definitionOsteopathy is an established recognised system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main stress on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It is distinctive by the fact that it recognises that much of the pain and disability which we suffer stems from abnormalities surrounded by the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.
a) osteopathy is base on palpation which has been refined over the later one and a half centuries. No other system except possibly chiropractic possesses this feature.
b) it is based on a process of looking at health and illness which, while possessing some of biomedicine’s models, is unique contained by that it is three dimensional. It studies the evolution of health, illness and disease utilising precipitating, predisposing and aggravating factors, using reductionism but from a holistic perspective.
c) osteopathy is innovative in recognising a reciprocal relationship between structure and function. Osteopaths, whether they graduate with the knowledge or are even aware of it, contrive and attribute meaning to these terms that are unique to osteopathy. Much of osteopathic practice is from a musculo-skeletal perspective and what is often term the treatment part is very much a continuum of the case history and the nouns.
d) from a musculo-skeletal perspective, it is truly patient centred (which comes straight from alternative medicine) in that it is the patient’s tissues that inform the osteopath contained by what to do. Osteopaths often say that they have to put their hand on the patient to discover what is happening. It is patient empower in that they can become aware that they do not have to suffer pain and that at hand are other ways to regard their health status.
e) it is ecological contained by recognising the patient’s environment, and what this may contribute to the way the patient demonstrates his ease or dis-ease. The modern osteopath recognises psycho-social factor and how these may influence a positive treatment outcome. Source(s): http://www.vitalhealth.co.uk/osteo%20def...

Are soma's approaching xanax??
The founders of Osteopathy and Chiropractic both knew each other and studied together - both were Americans even though Osteopathy is very soon more associated with England and Chiropractic with America.Osteopaths base most of their work on increasing circulation, whereas Chiropractors believe spinal mobilizations increase backbone flow and function.
There is quite a bit of overlap between the two - though the theories behind them are quite different. Source(s): One interesting record - in the US you have to be a Medical Doctor to be an osteopath, whereas in England it is only a separate naturopathy school - they are not MDs.
