Objective: Scientific literature applicable to chiropractic practice proliferates in quantity, quality, and source. Chiropractic is a worldwide profession and varies in scope between states or provinces and from country to country. It is logical to consider that the focus and emphasis of chiropractic education varies between programs as well. This original research study endeavored to determine ''essential literature'' recommended by chiropractic faculty. The purpose of this article is (1) to share our results and (2) to promote discussion and explore means for future collaboration of chiropractic faculty through a worldwide platform. Methods: A 2-phase recruitment occurred initially at the institutional level and subsequently at the faculty level. A Web-based survey used qualitative data collection methods to gather bibliographic citations. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographics, and citation responses were ranked per number of recommendations, grouped into categories, and tabulated per journal source and publication date. Results: Forty-one chiropractic programs were contacted, resulting in 30 participating chiropractic programs (16 US and 14 international). Forty-five faculty members completed the entire survey, submitting 126 peer-reviewed publications and 25 additional citations. Readings emphasized clinical management of spine pain, the science of spinal manipulation, effectiveness of manual therapies, teaching of chiropractic techniques, outcomes assessments, and professional issues. Conclusion: A systematic approach to surveying educators in international chiropractic institutions was accomplished. The results of the survey provide a list of essential literature for the chiropractic profession. We recommend establishing a chiropractic faculty registry for improved communication and collaboration.

“…Much of the work generated from the RAC meetings has been published in journals, such as the position papers published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] The RAC focused on research training for chiropractic college faculty, students, practitioners, and professional staff and primarily consisted of invited papers and hands-on training workshops, but offered no peer-reviewed, contributed sessions. Thus, the ACC-RAC merger brought together the most productive scholars in all areas of research in chiropractic, provided multiple opportunities for faculty development and presentation, and made this one of the more prestigious conferences in the profession internationally.…”

Purpose:The Journal of Chiropractic Education celebrates its 25th anniversary in the year 2011. The purpose of this article is to chronicle the history of the journal, which is unreported at this time. Methods: The entire collection of the journal was reviewed and information pertaining to important events and changes in the format, personnel, and processes of the journal were extracted. This information was used to create a chronology of the journal. The chronology was complemented with information obtained from people who were involved in the evolution of the journal and the Association of Chiropractic Colleges Educational Conferences. Results: Starting as a humble newsletter in 1987 and produced for a small cadre of readers primarily from the United States, the journal is now a full-sized and bound peer-reviewed international journal. Initially cataloged by the Index to Chiropractic Literature and MANTIS, the indexing expanded to interdisciplinary indexing systems such as CINAHL and ultimately PubMed. The journal has grown to serve the needs of chiropractic educators from around the world with representatives on the editorial board from 39 colleges and universities from 15 different countries. The journal has grown in tandem with the profession's leading education and research conference and has been the primary repository for the scholarship of chiropractic education. Conclusion: The history of the journal represents a significant milestone in the development of the chiropractic profession, particularly the discipline of chiropractic education. The journal has had an interesting history and the future promises to bring more opportunities and challenges to the field of chiropractic education and to the journal.

“…Although research directed towards understanding the mechanisms of SMT has increased dramatically, the most fundamental biomechanical aspects of this intervention are still poorly understood (Maigne & Guillon, 2000;Keller et al, 2003;Maigne & Guillon, 2000;Cramer et al, 2006;Herzog et al, 1993a). …”

The primary objective of this study was to determine the acceleration characteristics of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and whether patient anthropometric parameters correlated with the SMT kinematic parameters. For this, a wireless tri-axial accelerometer was taped to the dorsum of a clinician's hand to record the accelerations generated during clinical treatment of 95 symptomatic patients. Peak acceleration magnitudes differed significantly between spinal levels (p<0.0001; lumbar > cervical > thoracic = sacroiliac). The latencies of these peaks were also significantly different (p<0.0001; lumbar < cervical = thoracic < sacroiliac). Within a given spinal level, acceleration amplitudes varied over a wide range with temporal parameters remaining relatively constant. Overall, anthropometric parameters were poorly correlated with SMT parameters. In summary, distinct acceleration amplitudes were observed across spinal levels with relatively constant temporal factors. Thus, clinicians appear to vary the magnitude rather than the duration of the SMT thrust.ii Acknowledgements
