What Symbols are Used by Osteopaths?

Osteopaths use the Staff of Asclepius that represents the Greek god of healing and medicine, the god all physicians swear to in the Hippocratic Oath. 

Medical doctors use the Caduceus (the one with two snakes and wings) represents the Greek god of commerce, eloquence, trickery, negotiation and potions.
