Osteopathic Medicine in the US is legit though, they go through basically the same training as MDs. There’s some philosophical differences but osteopathic doctors are actually doctors.
This is true. For this reason, US doctors of osteopathic medicine generally don’t like to be called “osteopaths”, to avoid being associated with their pseudoscientist counterparts.

Osteopaths and chiropractors are slightly different kinds of liars.
