Chiropractic and Osteopathy: A Contemporary Review

STANLEY P. BOLTON

1978 was a watershed for chiropractic and osteopathy in Australia. It marked a change from independence to interrelationship between these professions as reflected in legislation before and after 1978 is examined. The origins and classic concepts of chiropractic and osteopathy are identified and the current position around the world noted. Some conclusions are drawn.

KEY WORDS: CHIROPRACTIC; OSTEOPATHY; CHIROPRACTIC AND OSTEOPATHIC LEGISLATION.

Functional Integration into the Orthodox Health Care System: The Chiropractic Practitioner's Perspective

JENNIFER R. JAMISON

Until relatively recently, chiropractors have functioned as independent marginal practitioners. Endeavours by the chiropractic profession have been rewarded by improved educational standards, registration of chiropractic practitioners in all Australian states and structural incorporation of chiropractic into the orthodox health care system. Successful functional integration of chiropractic into this system depends ultimately on individual practitioners in clinical practice. This paper ascertains whether field practitioners find functional integration within the orthodox referral system a psychologically acceptable notion.

KEY WORDS: CHIROPRACTIC; ORTHODOX MEDICAL SYSTEM.
