# OSTEOPATHY **Historical Context:** * **Late 19th Century Origin:** Osteopathic medicine emerged in the late 19th century. * **Greek and Hippocratic Influences:** Early osteopathy drew upon ancient Greek and Hippocratic traditions of understanding the body and disease, emphasizing observation and reason. * **Important Figures:** Hippocrates's writings (53 books) are noted as having been influential. Additional influential figures and writers are mentioned but not completely clear from the image. * **Early Focus:** Early osteopathic methods focused on manual manipulation of the body (e.g., bone manipulation to address structural/visceral issues). **Scientific and Experimental Medicine:** * **19th/20th Century Development:** The 19th and 20th centuries saw significant advances in scientific understanding of disease, including the role of microbes and toxins. * **Emphasis on Observation:** Emphasized clinical observation and exploration of disease. * **Experimental Approaches:** Experimental approaches to understanding disease mechanisms were noted. **Contemporary Approaches:** * **Anatomical-Pathological Mentality (1):** Disease is linked to anatomical lesions. * **Physiological-Pathological Mentality (2):** Disease is viewed through the disruption of organ function. * **Etiological-Pathological Mentality (3):** Disease focuses on the exterior agents (microbial or toxic). **Objectives of Modern Medicine:** * **Prevention of Disease:** Prevent disease states and maintain health. * **Relief of Pain:** Alleviate suffering in individuals. * **Avoidance of Death:** Focus on preventing death. **Further Information:** The document also mentions Anthropometric and interconnectivity cultural/symbolic understandings of disease, but specifics are unclear and truncated from the image. The image also contains tables and bullet points but these are difficult to decode and display completely due to OCR limitations in the image.
