    Do regular doctors consider osteopaths real doctors? Or more like chiropractors?

        It used to be more of a difference, in the early to mid 20th century, but now the DOs learn what the MDs do, though the most competitive med schools pretty much grant MDs.

        i asked a doctor friend about that when i got assigned an osteopath once. she said that it can vary (and has over time) but these days it pretty much means they are a "full" doctor. i went to one for a few years and never got a "crazy" vibe.

        FWIW, it was definitely an OD and not just osteopath

        That only gives a vague sense of prestige based on school brand recognition. It has no bearing on the regulatory or training difference between MDs or DOs. BTW, here's where you can point out you went to Princeton

        I suspect it depends on the country. I think France does recognize osteopathy as real medicine, and demands proper training and certification.

        Actually think it's the opposite, but I may be wrong! Ostéopathe = no regulation, whole body approach Chiropracteur = only one school in france, strictly regulated, internationally recognised, focused on the spinal chord And then there's kinésithérapeute but I have no idea
