Print on Demand. This book delves into the principles of osteopathy, a system of healing that emphasizes the body's natural ability to heal itself when its structure is in proper alignment. The author traces the historical evolution of medical thought, from ancient practices to the revolutionary ideas of the 19th century, highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches that focus solely on treating symptoms. The core of osteopathy lies in understanding the intricate relationship between structure and function. The book explores the concept of the body as a unified system, where cells, tissues, and organs are interconnected and interdependent. Disease, according to this philosophy, arises when structural imbalances disrupt the body's natural equilibrium, hindering its inherent healing mechanisms. Through a detailed analysis of the body's framework, the author elucidates how structural problems can manifest as various health issues. The book examines the role of factors such as circulation, nerve function, and metabolism in maintaining health, offering insights into the body's remarkable capacity for self-regulation and adaptation. Ultimately, it underscores the significance of addressing the root cause of disease through osteopathic principles, restoring the body's structural integrity to unlock its innate healing potential. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

This book has been held in favor by members of the osteopathic profession for twenty years. This new edition, the fifth, has been prepared for publication at the request of the American Osteopathic Association and the Associated Colleges of Osteopathy. The following excerpt from the preface of the first edition indicates the author's viewpoint:
"It must be understood at the outset that the work is designed primarily for the student who is beginning to study the new method of healing. Hence to those who are already practitioners of that method the matter contained in the following pages may not seem particularly new nor satisfying in the way of suggesting ideas of an immediately practical nature. Yet we are not without hope that even to the latter class there are many points of interest which will help to throw light upon some of the vexing problems that continually arise in the experience of the busy practitioner.
"Neither should it be assumed that the work is intended to treat exhaustively the numerous questions of theory that are associated with the science. That is entirely beyond the scope of a work that is prepared especially for him who, under the circumstances of a comprehensive curriculum of study, crowded into a period of time all too short, must of necessity limit his reading in all subjects to those texts which give a comparatively brief treatment. This work, therefore, is rather a mere outline of the various subjects that are most closely related to the fundamentals of the science, with suggestions as to the direction further investigation should take.
"The various subjects outlined and the manner of their treatment are the result of the labor of the author, who has been especially devoted to the principles of osteopathy during his course as teacher for the past three years. In large part the work here presented is a revision of lectures delivered before classes in Pr…

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
