An Osteopathic Approach to Children presents a comprehensive
general overview of pediatric medicine from an osteopathic
perspective. Many different groups of healthcare privders are now
considering the merits of applying the principles of manual
medicine and manual therapy in the care and treatment of children.
The existing textbooks of medical pediatrics and physical therapy
available for reference may address selected orthopedic problems in
children but they are limited in scope and they rarely include the
use of osteopathic principles. Members of the osteopathic
profession have a hundred-year history of treating children using
the manual application of osteopathic principles. Most of this
information has been handed down through mentoring, apprenticeship
and lecture. Very little of this information is actually available
to interested clinicians in published form. An Osteopathic Approach
to Children has been written and now thoroughly updated, to provide
a comprehensive textbook and reference source which deals
specifically with the osteopathic treatment of children. The book
is divided into two main parts: The first part discusses the normal
development, physiology and anatomy of the body systems from birth
to adulthood. The second part explores the conditions and diseases
of childhood and outlines the rationale for osteopathic treatment
for each disorder. This is probably the first pediatric book to
discuss clinical problems from the perspective of the
interrelatedness of structure and function. This unique approach
will make it an invaluable source of reference for all those
interested in using an osteopathic approach to the treatment of
children in their care. Clinicians will find it an invaluable help
in their efforts to provide safe and effective healthcare to
children. 2 new chapters, with new photographs. Fully updated and
expanded of current chapters.
