Chiropractic Clinic ABSTRACTS JOHN A. HINWOOD The history of chiropractic in Chile is the history of the contribution of one person, Victor H. Aguilera Altamira, DC. In 1978 he returned to his native Chile after studying in the USA. As knowledge of his chiropractic results spread throughout the community in Santiago, his existence was strenuously opposed by the medical establishment. This paper sketches chiropractic's eight-year history in Chile. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTIC; CHILE; HISTORY. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1986 Sep;16(3):86-7 Symmetry: A Premise of Chiropractic Diagnosis and Therapy PETER BRYNER Some authors imply that the premise of chiropractic is something intangible or a potentiality. Chiropractic concepts are reviewed as they relate to symmetry as a reflection of musculoskeletal health. True symmetry occurs infrequently in the musculoskeletal system; asymmetry is explored as one of the underlying assumptions in clinical chiropractic. Patterns of musculoskeletal distortion and asymmetry are reviewed as indicators to the application of chiropractic manipulative therapies.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1986 Sep;16(3):91-4 The Nature and Environment of Knowledge Production, Chiropractic Theory and Future Progress KEITH H. CHARLTON The role of chiropractic philosophy in research is examined in the context of the academic/educational environments presently available to the profession. It is argued that no suitable venue presently exists for the establishment of a chiropractic research tradition, and a pro forma for the future of chiropractic research is suggested. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTIC PHILOSOPHY; CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH; CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1986 Sep;16(3):95-8 Branches: From Mainstream Roots STANLEY P. BOLTON The first constitution of the Australian Chiropractors' Association is examined, contemporary facts and events are noted, and the formation of Branches of the ACA traced. Some conclusions are drawn. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTIC HISTORY. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1986 Sep;16(3):99-102 Sacral Base Angle and Lumbosacral Zygapophyseal Joint Facet Orientation PHILIP S. BOLTON and WAYNE R. MINTER The sacral base angle and lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facet orientation were examined in a group of low back pain sufferers. The sacral base angle and lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facet orientation were determined from erect posture lateral and antero-posterior lumbosacral vertebral column radiographs of 102 patients. There was a significant difference ( = 0.001) in the mean sacral base angle of those patients with bilateral sagittal lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facets compared to those patients with bilateral oblique lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facets. These data suggest that low back pain sufferers with bilateral sagittally orientated lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facets have a reduced sacral base angle compared to those with coronal or oblique facets. Further, that there is a relationship between the orientation of the lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facets and the sacral base angle. Lumbosacral zygapophyseal joint facet tropism is briefly discussed with respect to the findings of this study.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1986 Sep;16(3):103-6 Minimizing the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in the Chiropractic Clinic JENNIFER R. JAMISON Despite a declining incidence of coronary heart disease, this remains a major health care problem in Australia. Chiropractic practitioners can contribute to the prevention and control of this disorder. Early recognition and modification of coronary heart disease risk factors in apparently healthy persons is possible in chiropractic clinics.
