How to choose an Osteopathic Practitioner? Osteopathy, as practiced by Osteopathic Practitioners is not a regulated health profession in BC; therefore, use of title does not convey training standards, like it does in many health professions. In other words, if someone calls himself or herself an Osteopathic Practitioner, it does not necessarily mean they have the same training, credentials, and standards as someone else. Its important to choose an Osteopathic Practitioner ...that is a member of an organization that maintains high standards, such as Osteopathy BC and the member organizations of the Canadian Federation of Osteopaths. #osteopathybc #osteopathy #osteopathicpractitioner #naturalhealthcare #painfree #wellness #health #healthybody #backpain #neckpain #bc #britishcolumbia
