Osteopathic Principles
These eight principles of osteopathy are taken from ‘An Osteopathic
Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment’ DiGiovanna & Schiowitz,
a standard osteopathic text book, and are widely accepted throughout
the osteopathic community. They are taken from the curriculum of
the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine.
(1) The Body is a Unit
(2) Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related
(3) The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms
(4) The body has the inherent capacity to defend and
repair itself
(5) When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or
when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for
self maintenance, disease may ensue
(6) The movement of body fluids is essential to the
maintenance of health
(7) The nerves Pharmacy Health Topic play a crucial part in controlling
the fluids of the body
(8) There are somatic components to disease that are
not only manifestations of disease but also are factors that contribute
to maintenance of the disease state
These are principles not empirical laws, neither are
they commandments; they are ideas that inform the osteopathic
study of the basic medical sciences, they are not an
alternative to orthodox medical sciences but the basis
of a philosophy that informs the osteopathic Pharmacy Health Topic approach
to health and disease.
