Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes physical manipulation of muscle tissue and bones.[1][2] Practitioners of osteopathy are referred to as osteopaths.[3][4][5] Its name derives from Ancient Greek "bone" (ὀστέον) and "sensitive to" or "responding to" (-πάθεια).[6][7][8]

Osteopathic manipulation is the core set of techniques in osteopathy.[9] Parts of osteopathy, such as craniosacral therapy, have no therapeutic value and have been labeled as pseudoscience.[10][11] The techniques are based on an ideology created by Andrew Taylor Still (1828–1917) which posits the existence of a "myofascial continuity"—a tissue layer that "links every part of the body with every other part". Osteopaths attempt to diagnose and treat what was originally called "the osteopathic lesion", but which is now named "somatic dysfunction",[9] by manipulating a person's bones and muscles. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) techniques are most commonly used to treat back pain and other musculoskeletal issues.[9][12]

In the United States, the 21st century training of osteopathic physicians (who practice osteopathic medicine, not osteopathy) is equivalent to that of Doctor of Medicine (MD) physicians.[13][14] While osteopathic manipulation is still included in the curricula of osteopathic physicians, and is promoted as a unique aspect of DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) training, this has been described as nothing more than "'extra' training in pseudoscientific practices".[15] Osteopathic medical schools have been criticized as weaker in research than MD schools with regard to research and the understanding of scientific inquiry. In the US, graduates of osteopathic medical schools have the option to sit for both the osteopathic physician-specific COMLEX medical licensing exam and the general USMLE licensing exam.
