Abstract:

Editor’s note: This article from the archives has been formatted to comply with The AAO Journal’s style guidelines, but original language, spelling and punctuation has been retained per its original publication in the 1969 AAO Yearbook. Dr. Hoover served as the 1948-50 president of the Academy of Applied Osteopathy (now the American Academy of Osteopathy). Original editor’s note: Dr. Hoover, the exponent of functional osteopathic technic, wrote this paper for presentation before the Puget Sound Academy of Applied Osteopathy at which time there was a forum participated in by Drs. Lee Moore, Paul Noffsinger, Larry Hoover, William E. Merrill and H. V. Hoover. The material on functional technic is not new, but the expression of an idea as to whether any remedial treatment is alterative or simply palliative makes this article well worth the reading time.
