Manual Therapy vs Physiotherapy vs Chiropractic: What’s the Difference? (Guide for Nepal Patients)
Understanding your treatment options can help you choose the right path to pain relief. Manual therapy focuses on hands-on techniques, physiotherapy includes exercises and rehabilitation, and chiropractic care emphasises spinal adjustments.
Many people in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and across Nepal search for pain relief options and often get confused between manual therapy, physiotherapy (also called physical therapy), and chiropractic care. While all three are non-invasive, hands-on treatments for musculoskeletal issues like back pain, neck stiffness, joint problems, and injuries, they differ in focus, techniques, and overall approach.
