"The scope of practice of osteopathic practitioners varies by country. In general,
osteopaths trained outside of the U.S. are not physicians, and are limited in practice to non-invasive manual therapies,
[4] and may provide nutritional, postural, and other
health advice. Conversely, the U.S. trains
osteopathic physicians who practice the entire scope of modern medicine. To avoid confusion, the
American Osteopathic Association recommends using the terms
osteopathic physician (U.S.-trained only) and
osteopathic medicine to distinguish individuals trained in
osteopathic medicine in the United States from
osteopaths trained in
osteopathy, the restricted-scope form of practice outside of North America." - Wikipedia
