No: It honestly depends on the amount of training of the osteopathic physician and their willingness to employ different alternative medicine therapies. Some osteopathic physicians do not practice any alternative medicine. Again it depends on the D.O.'s practice and specialty and background post graduate training.

Scope of Practice: Us osteopathic physicians have a full license to practice medicine. Their training includes additional physical medicine components as well as a holistic philosophy. Depending on the specialty training the individual doctor pursues, they may incorporate it into their practice. For instance, some osteopaths may use acupuncture or prolotherapy if they are additionally trained in those techniques.
