I'm not an expert on the latest woo-woo, but isn't Osteopathy one of the numerous "faith-based 'medecine'"?

That issue was discussed before too. From what I remember from it is that what is called Osteopathy in the UK isn't the same thing that's called Osteopathy in the US, where the UK one is basically voodoo, and the US one a legitimate specialty in medicine (but correct me if I'm wrong)

You are correct. In the UK osteopathy is a woo woo homeopathic discipline, in the U.S. (where the study was conducted) the training and degree granting processes for osteopathy are equivalent to medical doctors and the two are treated identically.
