As the consensus textbook of the osteopathic profession and standard reference for osteopathic principles and practice (OPP) COMLEX questions, Foundations of Osteopathic Medicine 3rd Edition should be on the bookshelf of all DO students and physicians. The book includes the Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, the official source for definitions and accepted acronyms used for COMLEX tests, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals (DSM). The 3rd edition is much improved over previous versions, with more consistent editing to prevent contradictory information and emphasis on evidence based osteopathic manipulative treatment. Structural examination and technique descriptions and illustrations for thrust, muscle energy, myofascial release, cranial, counterstrain, soft tissue, articulatory, and lymphatics support a standard OPP curriculum. A summary table of viscerosomatic reflexes provides a quick reference for OPP and COMLEX exams. A new section on patient management provides case examples and a standard of care for a distinctive osteopathic approach to seventeen common patient presentations. A fully searchable E-book is available at LWW's thePoint with text purchase, but be sure to use an indirect technique for code access: I used a quarter and gently scratched off the sticker on the inside cover, code and all.
