This is a common question I get! I also get this question 10 x times per week!

So... I've had a simple dig at coming up with a reasonable answer. How? By reviewing the root words of the different disciplines.

Chiropractic is two terms combined into one meaning. Chiro meaning "hands" and Practy meaning "practice". So it's the practice of using your hands for treatment. Makes sense to me!

Osteopathy again is composed of Osteo or "bone" and Pathy or "pathway". Meaning the pathway of symptoms has a "bony origin"!

Physiotherapy comes from Physio or "natural" and Therapy or "curing". This means Physio is the practice of using natural therapy to help cure!

I hope that clears it up for you!
