Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy is performed by osteopathic physicians (also called doctors of osteopathic medicine, or DOs) who practice the full scope of modern medicine like medical doctors (MDs). They have a whole-person approach to treatment and care, with special training in the connection between the body's nerves, muscles, and bones.
Osteopathy is sometimes confused with chiropractic care as both use manipulations to treat patients.
