Sure Foundations.
The bones of your body are the
props of your existence. Distort the
framework of the human body and
you predispose that body to disease.
It may be the lungs, the heart, the
stomach, the liver or intestines that
show the impairment, but show it
will, in time, in some organ.
The practice of Osteopathy is skill
ed anatomical engineering—the re
placement of parts that become dis
placed; the removal of obstructions;
equalizing the circulation; the restor
ation of harmonious action to all
working parts; and the control of the
organs through the nervous system.
These mean bodily adjustment.
