Osteopathy: Research and Practice (Classic Reprint)

Osteopathy: Research and Practice (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Osteopathy, Research and Practice

In working out the general scheme of this book I have considered the human body in sections, or regions. I have classified the effects of abnormalities of the human body, or the so-called diseases, upon a basis of nerve and blood supply and the region affected. Often the line of separation cannot be closely drawn, as will be seen in my discussion of the condition. I have considered the most general diseased conditions of the regions of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Some conditions being more extensive in their effects do not properly fall into any of these classes but belong to the region above the diaphragm. Others belong to the region below the diaphragm; while others general in character, are spoken of as spinal. For convenience in referring to contagious diseases and fevers I have grouped them under a separate heading.

I have omitted all cuts and pictures because the reader of my practice is supposed to have in his mind an image of every bone, muscle, nerve, organ and part of the human body. His thorough anatomical and physiological acquaintance with the body makes it useless to have illustrations in this work. On your table are fully illustrated works on anatomy by able authors. Keep well posted on anatomy because the osteopath reasons from his mechanical knowledge of anatomy.
