"Musculoskeletal Disorders : Healing Methods from Chinese Medicine, Orthopaedic Medicine and Osteopathy" by Alon Marcus?
this is a great book. however, you must be trained in chinese medicine to get much out of it. basically, the book looks at each area of the ms body, for instance, the thoracic spine:
1) gives anatomica overview
2) chinese medicine overview
3) osteopathic treatment
4) acupunture prescription and point discussion
5) chinese manipulation techniques (tui na)
5) chinese herbal ideas
as for the osteopathic portion, you can find such techniques in any osteopathic textbook in more detail and with more options. as for the chinese medicine portion, i stress again that you must be trained in chinese medicine to make any use of it.
if you have completed your ostopathic and chinese medicine studies, it is a great book to combine all treatment options in one place.
as for other osteopathic books, there are tons out there. email me at
