American Osteopathic medicine is regarded as the only profession to successfully transfer from an alternative medical movement to orthodox medicine in the 20th century with full medical licenses. Although the majority of practitioners adhere to this practise, a small number of American DOs continue to practise Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) with an even smaller group, acknowledging the involuntary mechanism (cranial concept), founded by William Garner Sutherland. No other country has fulfilled a similar pathway.
