Osteopathy Classes Teachers TrainingOsteopathic practice started just before the chiropractic movement in the Midwest of the United States in the nineteenth century. Early in the twentieth century, the American osteopathic profession adopted the use of medicine and surgery, whereas chiropractors continue to use strictly manipulative techniques. Outside of the US, particularly in the United Kingdom, osteopaths tended to stay closer to their traditional approach. Osteopathy was founded by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., who was born in 1828 in Virginia. Dr. A.T. Still was trained by apprenticeship and was employed as an army doctor during the American Civil War in the U.S. Army. The horrors of battlefield injury and the subsequent death of his wife and several children from infectious diseases left him totally disillusioned with the traditional practice of medicine. Still perceived the medical practices of his day to be ineffective. Troubled by what he saw as problems with the medical profession, Still founded osteopathic practice. Using an alternative philosophical approach, he dogmatically opposed the use of drugs and surgery. Instead, he saw the human body as being metaphysically capable of curing itself through the use of manipulation techniques. 1 related categories: [ Osteopathy (0) ] |
