that health depends on the maintenance of proper relationships among the various
parts of the body. According to osteopathic theory, defects in the musculoskeletal
system the muscles, bones, and jointsinfluence the natural function
of internal organs. To correct structural abnormalities, osteopathic therapy,
or treatment with the hands or by mechanical means, is used. The practitioner,
the osteopath, may use this treatment alone, in combination with other accepted
therapeutic methods such as drugs, surgery, and X-ray treatments, or not at
all, depending on the needs of the individual patient. Osteopathic medicine
holds that true health involves complete physical, mental, and social well-being,
rather than merely the absence of disease. The body is viewed as having a capacity
for health that the osteopath can help the individual fulfil. He or she must
therefore treat the whole patient, considering such factors as nutrition and
mental habits in addition to the physical symptoms. The fundamental principles
of osteopathic medicine were formulated in 1874 by the American doctor Andrew
Taylor Still. Still organized the first osteopathic medical school at Kirksville,
Missouri, in 1892.
