Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This pocket-sized book is the first osteopathic clinical manual to be organized by diagnoses in a two-page, quick-reference format. In the tradition of The 5-Minute Consult Series, each diagnosis is presented on a two-page spread. The first page has a definition of the disease, a list of associated autonomic and motor innervations, and a list of common somatic dysfunctions. The second page lists the techniques that might be used for those somatic dysfunctions. The second page is further subdivided into three levels of treatment: 2-minute, 5-minute, and extended. Next to each technique is the corresponding ICD-9 code for billing. Photos and schematic drawings are included.

The fully searchable online text is included with purchase of this book.

This review is from: The 5-Minute Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Consult (The 5-Minute Consult Series) (Paperback)

This book is exactly what I needed. I really don't have the time to flip through my OMM textbooks when I'm about to see a patient. I can review this book discretely and get what I need in a few minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for your Osteopathic Library, May 13, 2009

By	Michael from Johnstown "Michael from Johnstown" (Johnstown, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 5-Minute Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Consult (The 5-Minute Consult Series) (Paperback)

I've had the pleasure of knowing David Mason, D.O. for many years. I treasure this book because it allows me to have a quick reference to viscero-somatic reflexes. I think the sacral dysfunction chart alone is worth having the book.
