No, an Osteopathic physician are fully trained and licensed physicians in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to perform medicine and/or surgery independently of all other practitioners.

Osteopathic physicians may perform manipulation, if they choose, or they may practice more conventional "medicine" only. They may prescribe medications for any indicated condition, not only for bones or joints, as has been purported by other people on this site.
