In today's stressful world, people are turning increasingly to alternative ways of achieving and maintaining better health. This new series offers the perfect introduction to a range of healing techniques that can be used either independently or as a complement to traditional medical treatment. Each book includes information on the history and principles of the technique, case studies, and practical guidance on how to apply it.
Osteopathy is often considered to be something less than a proven science. Not so. Osteopaths in the U.S. graduate from medical schools and are licensed to practice medicine just like M.D.'s. Unlike M.D.'s, however, osteopaths do not treat symptoms but rather encourage the body's capacity to restore itself by remedying physical imbalances.
In Discover Osteopathy, two osteopaths explain the basic principles of osteopathy; how it works; its use in pregnancy, childbirth, dentistry, sports injuries, and accidents; and when to visit an osteopath.
