Origin of osteo-¹

from Greek osteon

Syphilitic osteo-arthritis results from a gumma in the periosteum or marrow of one of the adjacent bones.

In most cases the tumour is of the myeloid type—myeloma; in others new bone is formed in its substance—osteo-sarcoma.

However, in Pye-Smith's 27 cases of osteo-arthritis, five stated that rheumatism had occurred in their families.

This causes osteo-myelitis, which frequently results in a separation of the epiphyses.

This is indeed the legitimate field for Osteo-Chyropractice.
