This is a great practical book for the osteopathic physician. I use it frequently when caring for hospital patients. While it has sections on various types of diseases (upper respiratory, GI,etc.) Dr. Kuchera also has a basic outline on how to use osteopathy in any sort of disease state. This means you can take the basic philosophy and apply it in any situation. I highly recommend it to all osteopathic physicians and students of osteopathy.
This book is a compendium of amazingly ideas and concept which set the osteopathic profession apart from traditional medicine. I do not believe that osteopathy is " better" than the traditional mode- I have met excellent physician with both backgrounds. But the osteopathic model- at its best, can be a powerful tool, when used with the insight of great leaders in the field- i is: Ed Stiles, D.O., Fred Mitchell D.O. ( both senior, and junior), Loren Rex, D.O., etc., etc., etc. this book is a tribute to the profession, at its best. A fine reference.
An excellent and very welcome text on the important role Osteopathy has to play in the treatment of visceral disease. By explaining the relationships between viscera and the Autonomic nervous system, the authors have been able to recommend an approach and treatment plan for many common visceral disorders. For any Osteopath who has a desire to explore the full power of Osteopathy and be confident in treating such conditions in their clinic, this book is a must.
A must for anyone in the field of manual medicine. I have other books written by Kuchera and they are all great.
