The fields are pretty similar in regard to their scope of practice, but I know an osteopath that does interventions such as back injections to resolve a herniated disc. There are some chiro's now that are following the PT mindset towards treatment instead of just adjusting the spine. I think PT's and Chiro's will blend together in the future depending on how many chiro's stray away from their traditional clinical thinking....not sure about osteos.
