What Is Osteopathy and How Is It Different from Chiropractic Care?

By Dr. Fabrice Lefèvre – Osteopath and Posturologist

Key Points of the Article

  • Osteopathy is a manual, natural, and integrative approach to health that treats the body as a connected unit, seeking self-regulation and overall balance.
  • Unlike chiropractic care, which focuses mainly on the nervous system and vertebral subluxations, global osteopathy also addresses structural, functional, and emotional factors.
  • Modern osteopathy includes the treatment of the viscera, cranium, and fasciae, as well as the analysis of posture, functional nutrition, and ergonomics in everyday life and sports.
  • The Probodyone Method combines disciplines such as medical acupuncture, neurosensory postural reprogramming, physical and mental coaching, and the use of technological tools for comprehensive evaluation.
  • At Probodyone, every patient receives a personalized, multidisciplinary treatment with a preventive and therapeutic focus, adapted to their unique case.
  • Our programs are available in key cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, and Marbella in Europe, and in Medellín, Cartagena, Bogotá, and Cali in Latin America, to provide access to advanced integrative health.
  • The Probodyone approach benefits people with chronic pain (back, neck, hips…), athletes, children with postural imbalances, adults with stress, fatigue, or digestive disorders, and seniors who want to maintain their mobility and independence.
  • Integrative osteopathy does not aim to replace allopathic medicine, but to complement it synergistically, improving the effectiveness of medical treatments in cases such as osteoarthritis, joint injuries, or metabolic dysfunctions.
  • At Probodyone, we don’t just treat diseases — we treat people with a holistic, empathetic perspective and a commitment to clinical excellence.

A Global Approach to Integrative Health

For over 25 years, my passion has been helping people regain their health through a comprehensive, whole-person approach. I’ve had the privilege of founding and directing osteopathy institutes in France and Barcelona, as well as developing clinical practices in Madrid, Marbella, and across Latin America (Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena, Cali, Santa Marta – Colombia).

My vision has always been clear: the human body is an indivisible unit and must be treated as such.

From this perspective, the Probodyone Method was born — a multidisciplinary model that fuses osteopathy, posturology, rehabilitation, functional nutrition, medical acupuncture, and advanced technological tools for the analysis of posture and movement.

Our goal is to offer each patient personalized care that honors the uniqueness of their body and life story. We don’t just look at physical symptoms — we consider lifestyle, emotional health, nutrition, posture, and the interaction between all these elements.

With a strong focus on prevention, our mission is to help people not only recover but maintain their health over the long term. Whether it’s addressing chronic pain, enhancing athletic performance, supporting recovery after injury, or simply improving quality of life, the Probodyone Method provides a comprehensive and human-centered solution.
