e/Osteomyology

Information
has gloss	eng: Osteomyology (sometimes Neurosteomyology) is a form of alternative medicine found almost exclusively in the United Kingdom and is loosely based on aggregated ideas from other manipulation therapies, principally chiropractic and osteopathy. This was a response to news that the UK government was about to bring in new legislation requiring all chiropractors and osteopaths to be registered with new governing bodies. The new acts were not universally welcomed by the grassroots of the professions. The acts did not forbid the various practices of chiropractic and osteopathy, but protected the titles of osteopath and chiropractor to those registered with the new organisations. By taking on the title Osteomyologist, practitioners can advertise their various spinal manipulation without being in breach of the legislation. It has been estimated that 4 to 5% of osteopaths were denied registration as osteopaths because they were not up to date with training or would not conform to current accepted safe practice. Many of those continued practicing as osteomyologists.
