Cranial Osteopathy Principle and Practice


The original plan had envisaged a brief revision of Praxis der Kraniosakralen Osteopathie. This has now given way to a substantial reworking, and the chapter on the temporomandibular joint in particular has been considerably expanded. The results of new research and understanding of the anatomical structures and their physiological significance as well as additional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are presented. Osteopathic approaches to the temporomandibular joint are increasingly being used in place of orthopedic treatments of the jaw. In the light of this it becomes essential for the osteopath to possess a sound body of knowledge.
All other chapters have also been updated to reflect the present state of knowledge. The instructional layout, which follows the treatment of each cranial bone and orofacial structure, of the organs of sight, hearing and balance and the upper respiratory tract, and in the case of headache, has proved helpful and has been retained in its existing form. It would give me great pleasure if the present manual and reference work is able in any degree to contribute to the further recognition of osteopathic treatment in the cranial field.
