Osteopaths, not to be confused with osteopathic physicians/Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, are healthcare practitioners who have earned the Diploma of Osteopathy degree and specialize in a form of manual therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). Unlike Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) trained in the United States, non-physician osteopaths trained in Europe or elsewhere are often trained at a Bachelor's or Master's degree level of medical training, but are not physicians, and cannot perform surgeries or prescribe medications like a physician.
