Developed by the faculty at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, this primary care handbook is organized by eleven areas of the body. It presents diagnosis of possible dysfunctions, then goes on to explore a variety of osteopathic manipulative techniques, along with their indications and relative contraindications. This second edition contains over 400 photographs, along with online access to technique videos and case-study questions suitable for Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) review. Forty-three new techniques have been added, along with updated descriptions and clinical correlations. Another important update--spiral binding now allows the manual to remain open on the treatment table. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
