Still, Andrew Taylor

American osteopath

born August 6, 1828, Jonesboro, Virginia, U.S.

died December 12, 1917, Kirksville, Missouri

American founder of osteopathy, who believed that remedies for disease are available in the correctly adjusted body, obtained through manipulative techniques and concomitant medical and surgical therapy.

Still acquired some medical training from his father and a college in Kansas City. About 1849 he began to practice medicine in Kansas and in Missouri. He was an active abolitionist and was elected to the Kansas territorial legislature in 1857. He also saw service in the Civil War.

Motivated by the deaths of three of his children in an epidemic, Still formulated his principles of osteopathy in 1874. After a period of opposition he founded the American School of Osteopathy at Kirksville in 1892. In 1924 it was absorbed by the Andrew Taylor Still School of Osteopathy and Surgery, founded by George Laughlin in 1922, which was renamed the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1971. Still established the Journal of Osteopathy in 1894.
