Yeah, D.O.s are medical doctors. D.O.'s treat all kinds of pathologies and enter all specialities in medicine.

I am really more amused by the fact that people can be so lazy and not even wiki it. It takes less time to do that than to come here and post about it. Meh.

Osteopaths are in France:

They aren't recognized as "full" physicians and are not trained to be so, but they're there.

Aux États-Unis, les ostéopathes n'ont pas le droit de porter le titre de Docteur en Médecine (M.D.) mais ont la même formation que les médecins allopathes et les mêmes droits. Ils sont formés dans des écoles d'ostéopathie et portent le titre d'ostéopathe D.O.(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine).
