The need for a resource to succinctly describe and provide a primer to osteopathic medical students and graduates is apparent. The philosophy of osteopathic medicine is simple: structure affects function. By supplementing and enhancing one's knowledge of anatomy and physiology with an emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, the benefits of hands-on osteopathic diagnosis and treatment help patients to achieve a high level of wellness by not only focusing on treatment of acute and chronic problems but also on health promotion and disease prevention. You may be someone who needs a review while studying for a board re-certification exam, a resident studying for an in-service exam, or a medical student progressing through their curriculum: this book is for you. This guide begins with an introduction to osteopathic manipulative medicine, discussing basic concepts with integrated functional anatomy and moving into treatment models and a brief survey of relevant concepts of the neuromusculoskeletal examination. It continues with a discussion of the axial spine, followed by the lower extremities. From the lower extremities, the upper extremities are discussed in succession. After the axial and appendicular skeleton, the text delves into osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine. The final chapters integrate all of the topics discussed and provide, in addition to end-of-chapter review questions, board-style vignette questions. All review questions have detailed explanations involving relevant portions of the text. A summary of principal muscles utilized in diagnosis and treatment is provided at the end of the text as well as several quick reference sheets for convenience. Objectives are listed at the beginning of each chapter to primarily identify learning goals. Prior exposure to anatomy is assumed.Table of Contents:Chapter 1 - The Basics of Osteopathic Manipulative MedicineChapter 2 - Treatment Models / Reflex Somatic DysfunctionsChapter 3 - Cervical SpineChapter 4 - Thoracic SpineChapter 5 - Clavicle, Sternum, and RibsChapter 6 - Lumbar SpineChapter 7 - Innominates, Hip, Pelvis, and SacrumChapter 8 - Lower Extremity and GaitChapter 9 - Upper ExtremityChapter 10 - Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative MedicineChapter 11 - Applications of Osteopathic Manipulative MedicineChapter 12 - Board-style Review QuestionsChapter 13 - Quick Hit Questions

The osteopathic profession has developed many treatment modalities and approaches to manipulation. Ligamentous articular strain is the name given by William G. Sutherland, D.O., the founder of cranial osteopathy, to a group of techniques that he used for treating the body outside the core axis of the craniosacral system. The term has since come to refer to a wide variety of techniques that engage the body's own healing mechanisms in a relatively direct manner. For over thirty years the Dallas Osteopathic Study Group, originally under the tutelage of Rollin Becker, D.O., has been exploring this type of manipulation. Ligamentous Articular Strain is the distillation of their work. The introductory chapters address the historical development of this approach, and review some of its scientific underpinnings. The remaining chapters are devoted to an examination of the body, area by area, from the feet to the shoulders, describing and depicting effective manipulative techniques. Ligamentous Articular Strain provides clear instructions and vivid illustrations which will enable the trained practitioner to quickly gain proficiency in these techniques. It also presents a cogent approach to working with the concepts of the key lesion and the bowstring, first developed by Rollin Becker. In this revised edition, over a hundred new illustrations graphically depict the techniques described in the book, and minor changes have been made to update the text.
