'J\n apRroach to PMS that's as natural
as the Rroblem"
artell Laboratories, pioneers in clinical
nutrition since 1932 is proud to introduce
D
DARPREM, a unique, natural approach to the
treatment of PMS.
The research department at Darrell Laboratories has
compiled the latest in nutritional science to formulate
DARPREM, a unique, natural combination of the nutrients
most needed by women who experience PMS.
DARPREM is designed to be taken on a daily basis,
PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME
either with or without other supplementation. Three (3)
It is estimated that over 12 million American women
experience the symptoms associated with PMS every

month. Usually beginning 7 to 10days before menstruating,
these symptoms include rapid mood changes, irritability,
depression, headaches, cramping, breast tenderness and
water retention. PMS can range from a mild annoyance to
a completely debilitating condition.
DARPREM - ANATURAL APPROACH
Because no one is sure what causes PMS, treatment
has usually involved the use of pain relievers which only
mask the problem. Recently however I clinical research has
indicated that modifications in diet and exercise, a reduction of stress factors and the inclusion of certain key
nutrients can playa significant role in alleviating or reducing
symptoms.

Kenneth L. Luedtke, D.C.
Chiropractic is based on the
premise that the relationship between structure and function in the
human body is a significant health
factor and that the relationship between the spinal column (vertebral
subluxation) and the nervous system is the most significant for restoration and maintenance of health.
The chiropractic profession was
developed as an alternative to the
drugs and surgery of 1895. The
central theme ofD.D. Palmer's discovery was the concept of "tone,"
which is the functional result of
nervous system activity. Our
founder was aware of the many
factors capable of irritating the
nervous system; from chemical to
psychological to physical. His great
contribution to the healing arts was
to emphasize the importance of the
nervous system in health and disease. One etiology historically neglected in the past was the spinal
aberrations, referred to as vertebral
subluxations. Our chiropractic pioneers recognized the subluxation
as inimicable to the general health
of an individual. When the rest of
the healing arts was emphasizing
arsenicals, purges, leeches and
crude surgery, our predecessors
were introducing the idea of spinal
subluxations and suggesting their
ability to disturb the body's tone,
better known today as homeostasis. As we matured, our appreciation of this vertebral dysfunction
became both a source of pride and
a source of intraprofessional controversy. The ACA adopted the
following definition:
"Subluxation is an aberrant relationship between two adjacent
articular structures that may have
functional or pathological sequelae, causing an alteration in the
biomechanical and/or neuro-physiological reflections of those articular structures, their proximal
structures, andlor other body systems that may be directly or indirectly affected by them."

NEEDLESS HOSPITAL STAYS PROVE COSTLY
The Medicare program is being overcharged $2 billion a year by hospitals
that admit patients who do not need hospitalization, according to federal
investigators. A survey by the Department of Health and Human Services'
Inspector General's office found 10.5 percent of 7,050 patients at 214
randomly selected hospitals had been admitted needlessly. Most of those
cases involved patients who "would have been treated more appropriately
in outpatient settings," the study reported.
The unnecessary admissions
tended to be concentrated in five diagnostic groups: diabetes, bone
cancer, back problems, digestive disorders and infections of the upper
respiratory tract, the study found.
STUDIES LINK GENETICS, METABOLISM WITH OBESITY
Two new studies have linked genetics and a low metabolic rate with obesity,
suggesting that overweight people "do not, in the long run, eat much
more ..•. than nonobese persons."
The studies, reported in the New England
Journal of Medicine, both found subjects with low metabolic rates more
likely to gain weight than those with higher rates. And energy expenditure
(adjusted for such factors as age, sex and body composition) was shown
to be clustered in families. One of the studies found that at as early
an age as three months, infants born to lean and overweight mothers
showed significant differences in energy expenditure. By one year of
age, half the babies born to overweight mothers were overweight, compared
to none of the babies born to lean mothers:
LEAN-MEAT DIET LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
Those who want to lower their cholesterol levels but who have a tough
time adhering to a strict low-cholesterol, low-fat diet can take heart
from a new study. The study, reported in the British Medical Journal,
found total cholesterol levels reduced by between 8.6 and 18.5 percent
among 15 men who followed a four-week diet. AllIS were allowed to
eat 180 grams of meat daily, but all ·of the meat was very lean. The
results show that a "moderate quantity of lean'meat can be incorporated
in a cholesterol-lowering diet if total fat content is rigidly restricted,"
according to the International Lipid Information Bureau.· "The study
reinforces the view that the important component of lipid lowering
diets is reduction in the fat content of meat."

ATTITUDES FOUND UNRELATED TO CANCER SURVIVAL
The idea that a person's attitude affects his chances for surviving
cancer has received no support from a Vanderbilt University Medical
Center study. The study failed to find any psychological factors that
influenced longevity among 49 female breast cancer patients, researchers
said. "Our conclusion was that physical illness for these people far
outweighed emotional factors that might have pred i c t ed survival," said
Dr. Robert N. Jamis.on, an anesthesiologist who headed the study. "The
pathology of the illness seemed to take control." Previous studies
had indicated that longevity of cancer patients was related somewhat
to how well they adjusted to the illness, how they expressed emotion
and if they had a will to live.
NICOTINE GUM PROVES EFFECTIVE
Two new studies have found nicotine-laced gum to be effective in helping
smokers shake the. habit. Researchers at both Indiana University's
Department of Medicine and Copenhagen's Gentofte Hospital found use
of gum with 2 or 4 milligrams ofriicotine helped hard-core smokers stop
smoking. The Copenhagen study, reported in the New England Journal
of Medicine, found 9 of 27 highly addicted smokers were able to kick
the habit for at least two years with the 4-milligram dose. Stuart J.
Cohen of the Indiana University says effects of nicotine gum -- primarily
blood vessel constriction -- are insignificant compared with the health
risks of smoking.
OVERPOPULATION CALLED WORLD THREAT
Rapid overpopulation in developing nations is threatening environmental
catastrophe, according to a population-control group. In a new report
!
disputed by critics -- the Population Institute cited the t h i n n i n g :
of the Earth's ozone shield, heating of the atmosphere, waste and pollution
"I
of water supplies and loss of soil and forests as effects of population
growth. The group said.world population grew by an unprecedented 90
million last year and will climb 20 percent, from 5.1 billion to 6.1
billion, in the next decade. "Ninety-two percent of that growth is
taking place in the poorer nations· of the developing world," the group
said in its report.
However, critics said the group was overreacting
to population growth trends, which they said have proven hard to predict
in the past.

viewers are confidential. Professionalism and concern for the integrity of the review process require
such confidentiality. FCER shares
the reviews with the principal investigators, again on a blinded basis, as is customary within the scientific community.
(5) The reviews of each proposal
undergo a secondary evaluation by
the four members of FCER's Research Committee. Each commit-
tee member holds a D.C. degree.
This second-tier review ensures
another impartial evaluation.
FCER Director of Research Steve
Walk, Ph.D., emphasized that the
awarding or denial of funding is
based on a consensus of qualified
reviewers and not on the basis of
a single review or comments within
such a review.
Dr. Walk believes that publishing and distributing a confidential
review, and isolating it from the
total context under which a proposal was evaluated, is an unfortunate incident for both FCER and
the chiropractic profession.
He said that the distribution of
any review is both inappropriate
and unprofessional. He said,
"FCER is making a sincere and
concerted effort to stimulate the
scientific research that is necessary
to advance the professional stature
of chiropractic. We continue to
support research projects that reflect the highest scientific standards, and will continue to administer our Awards & Grants Program
with the professionalism that has
come to be recognized by practitioners, researchers, and colleges
throughout the chiropractic
profession."
Michigan Chiropractic
Organizations Merging
Four chiropractic associations in
Michigan are merging into what officials say will be one "strong, unified, professional association." It
will be called the Michigan Chiropractic Society.
Plans for the new organization
were announced at a press conference in April at the Michigan State
Capitol Building in Lansing. Present were representatives of all four
associations: Royce Newman,
D.C., president of the Michigan
State Chiropractic Association; Kirk
Steketee, D.C., president of the
Michigan Alliance of Chiropractic
Physicians; John Cowan, D.C., immediate past president of the
Michigan Chiropractic Council; and
John O'Connor, D.C., president of
the Michigan Fellowship of Straight
Chiropractors.
Officials of the associations said
groundwork for the merger had
been laid over the preceding 18
months when the four groups
formed a joint legislative coalition
to represent the chiropractic
profession in the state government
and legislature. The coalition's success - it was credited with getting
House passage of a "scope of prac14

"We have all put aside our differences and found that the past
concerns of the groups held little
credibility in light of the problems
facing the survival of our profession in Michigan';' said Dr. Steketee. "We worked long hours to
find the ways and means of joining
together so that the organization
could serve the needs of all chiropractors in Michigan."
"The merger committee recognized that all factions needed

ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
In interviews with the ACA Journal, 16 former presidents of the
ACA discussed the events that
have affected chiropractic over the
last 25 years, how the profession
stands today and its prospects for
the future.
Their comments provide a fascinating perspective on the future
of the profession from a group of
men who have helped to shape it.
Heading the list of most significant events to affect chiropractic,
according to a majority of the former presidents, is accreditation of
the Council on Chiropractic Education by the U.S. Department of
Education. The accreditation,
which took place in 1974, paved
the way for much of the progress
the profession has made in the last
decade, many former presidents
say.
The former presidents have a variety of opinions about how the
profession stands today. Most believe great progress has been made.
Edwin M. Kenrick, D.C., who
served as president from 1980 to
1982, remembers a time when colleagues were arrested for practicing medicine without a license. Phil
L. Aiken, D:C, who was president
from 1978 to 1979, recalls being
asked to recruit students for chiropractic colleges. They contrast
that with a profession that today is
much more widely respected and
beginning to take its proper place
in the health care field. "It's come
a long way and it's going to go a
long way," says Elmer A. Berner,
D.C, the ACA's second president.
For the future, most see nothing
but bright prospects, although they
differ on just how fast progress will
occur. Kenrick sees any gains as
coming "inch by inch," saying he
doubts that there is "going to be a
big breakthrough:" Some agree,
pointing to continued opposition
from some groups that will try to
block the path to progress. But others see a rapidly growing acceptance by the public, government and
even the medical profession. Weldon L. adorn, D.C, Past President
of the ACA, says that the seeds for
many future accomplishments have
already been sewn: "1 think we'll
definitely see inclusion of chiropractors on the staffs of hospitals,
greater inclusion in government
health care programs and chiropractors taking a much more visible and stronger position in sports
medicine," he says.
On the pages that follow, each
of the presidents provides his views
on the past, present and future of
chiropractic.
Missing is the opinion of Gerald
M. Brassard, D.C., who served as
ACA president from 1969 to 1970
and then as the organization's executive director until his retirement last year. The ACA Journal
staff was unable to reach Dr. Brassard for his comments prior to this
month's deadline.
(Four other former ACA presidents, Drs. Clyde Martyn, A.A.
Adams, George Poe and Herman
E. Olsen, aredeceased.)

"There have been so many changes
in the last 25 years that it's kind of
amazing, really."
Elmer A.
Berner, D.C.
Elmer A. Berner, D.C., was the second president of the
ACA, serving from 1964 to 1965. Currently retired, he
lives in Buffalo, NY.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"The fact that the ACA was formed. I was involved
at the very beginning of that. I think everything really
started from there. That was really the beginning of
the progress. In those days, the Foundation for Chiropractic Education arid Research was just at its beginning; the National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance
Company was still in kind of an infancy stage; the
public relations program was just beginning to have
an effect. So there have been so many changes in the
last 25 years that it's kind of amazing, really. I think
the ACA's formation was an important happening.
It's kind of funny, really, at that time the NCA and
the ICA were getting together and they had the Committee of 12 - six from each organization - that was
supposed to form the one big organization. Well,
through the years the ICA still hung loose. Now we've
almost reached the stage in the profession where
they're going through it again. It's like history repeating itself."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"I don't think there's any comparison with its acceptance. It's in greater acceptance by the third-party
people,the insurance industry. It's in workmen's comp
. and with the various insurance companies throughout the country. There's also government acceptance.
There's just no comparison in general. 1 think the
profession is just starting to take off. It's come a long
way and 1 think it's going to go a long way. And
probably, from the standpoint of public relations, there
is not one single thing you could point to as most
responsible - although-the latest Reader's Digest promotion was something that was outstanding."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I think it's still on its way up. We probably still
20
have a way to go in government recognition. The Wilk
case took away some of the pressure from the medical
profession, opposition that has existed through the
years, although it's still going to be there in the background. 1 just think the people - the public at large
- are more accepting. There are more people who
are using chiropractic and have a greater acceptance
of chiropractic. More people have a better idea of what
it is all about. 1 think for many years many people
were ignorant of what chiropractic was really about.
The idea of another insert in Reader's Digest seems
like a great thing. 1 think the profession is' really unlimited at this point. I think we're going up, still on
the upward trail. When 1 started out in chiropractic,
there were four states that weren't even regulated yet.
So I've seen a lot of things happen in that period of
time.
"Our colleges are also doing a tremendous job. There
is no comparison with the education today compared
to education years ago. They have more facilities that
are really fantastic. The education, the research, the
accreditation of the schools and the recognition by the
government agencies ~ that all means a lot. Still, I'm
not sure we're going to have more recognition by the
hospitals right away. 1 don't know whether we'll have
made many more inroads by the year 2000. The hospitals are pretty much controlled by the medical element. There might be some token recognition. 1 know
some chiropractors have been able to go into a hospital and have patients in the hospital and actually
take care of them there and make use of the hospital
facilities. That would sure be nice. Maybe we'll get
more acceptance in the veterans' programs than we
have in the past. 1 think there is room for improvement there. I know there are a lot of people in the
veterans' hospitals who would benefit from chiropractic care if they would have access to it."
"There's no comparison in the
education my son got when he
recently graduated with the
education I got 40 years ago."
Sidney C.
Birdsley, D.C.
Sidney Birdsley, D.C., was president of the ACA from
1967 to 1968. He is retired and lives in Salt Lake City,
UT.

What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"In my estimation, it's the favorable result of the
lawsuit against the AMA. I think it's going to gain
public stature for chiropractic and recognition for what
it can do. I think it's already had quite an effect."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"Well, in comparison to when I opened my office
40 years ago, we have probably made more progress
in that length of time than medicine did in the comparable first 40 years of its existence."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I believe the future of chiropractic is unlimited,
but it is in the hands of the chiropractorsthemselves,
as well as the chiropractic political organizations. The
year 2000 is not very far away, but I think we'll be
much better off. But in comparison, the profession
will be much better off in the year 2050. I think the
advancement between now and 2000 will be probably
greater than the progress in the past 12 years. That's
because of the court decision and because of the increase in the educational requirements before a person can seek a chiropractic education. There's no comparison in the education my son got when he recently
graduated with the education I got 40 years ago. But
that's the way it should be."
accredited by the Ll.S. Office of Education and the
inclusion of chiropractic in Medicare. It has dignified
chiropractic so that many educated people accept it.
It gave credibility to the profession, which caused
many people to become interested in chiropractic as
a career. The accreditation caused many people to
enter the profession; our student procurement problems were solved. Also important has been society's
awareness of the value of preventive treatment rather
than crisis treatment."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"1 think that the most significant thing today is the
fact that society is becoming aware of the cost-effectiveness and therapeutic effectiveness of chiropractic.
People are recognizing the value of exercise and alternative types of health care, rather than drug-related care."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I think that as a result of our research being done
at the present time, that by the year 2000 chiropractic
will have full acceptance by the scientific community,
which would result in a wider application of chiropractic, such as inclusion in the hospital programs,
as well as in the government agencies and the armed
services. "
"One of these days we're going to
hit something big in research. . . ."
"As a result of our research, by the
year 2000 chiropractic will have full
acceptance by the scientific
community. "

FCER trustee.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"Having our accrediting agency recognized by the
Department of Education. That's one of the most positive things. That has upgraded the educational standards of our profession and has demanded that the
chiropractic colleges maintain a high degree of excellence in their academic endeavors. The qualifications
of students gelling into chiropractic colleges today are
21
much better. We are attracting a much higher caliber
of students into the chiropractic colleges. And I think
in the final analysis they, as far as the basic sciences
are concerned, are coming out with a better education. Now as far as the clinical aspect is concerned, I
don't know. That would be a question mark. And I
can recall very vividly that we had an element within
the profession when we went to the two-year preprofessional chiropractic care requirement that said it
would ruin the chiropractic profession, that we would
not have any students because they would not comply
with the requirement. And just the opposite has happened. We have attracted more students of a higher
caliber. That was a big problem at the point in time
when we were advocating the state laws to change
the educational requirements to require the two years
of pre-chiropractic education. How well I remember.
I was president of the GCA at the time we did it in
Georgia and I was called everything from a 'supercilious jerk' to everything else. That's what we did.
Thanks to the foresight of a lot of good, hard-working
chiropractors we were able to get it passed in Georgia.
I was on the Board of Examiners here in Georgia and
we used to examine probably 15 to 20 applicants twice
a year. Now they're examining 100, 125 or 150 each
time they give the boards. So that's the big development as far as the positive aspect that has happened
in the 25 years - the upgrading of our educational
a little bit. It's still a very powerful association. But I
think individually, they are accepting us a little bit
more. For example, students at the Medical College
of Georgia here in Augusta are much more tolerant
of chiropractic than the old students were. The old
attitude was due basically to the propaganda put out
by the AMA. The future looks great, as far as chiropractic is concerned, due primarily to our improved
image and to the fact that we are doing research. And
one of these days we're going to hit something big in
research.... I don't know what it is or where it is,
but I think one of these days something big is going
to happen in research. Then too, our graduates coming out today are more qualified, in my opinion, academically. Now I'm not saying they are more qualified as far as the clinical aspect. In the basic sciences
they're probably a little more qualified than what we
were when I came out. So I think the future looks
great."

institutions."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"It is recognized. It has a much higher standing
today than it did 25 years ago. The image today is
much better today than it was then. I went into practice in 1947 and the image has improved tremendously since then. Most of the insurance companies
recognize chiropractic claims now; we're in Medicare.
And this is all because of the increased academic excellence of chiropractic education. The future of this
profession lies in our educational institutions and the
research that this profession will do to scientifically
prove the validity of the chiropractic theory. That's
where the future is. I'm an FCER trustee and very
much involved with the research aspect of the profession. I know there are a lot of people in the profession
who think our future lies in our meetings with the
political leaders of the federal and state governments.
I agree that that's an important aspect of the future,
but if we can get some valid research done in the next
10 years, then our efforts within the political arena
will be much easier than what they are today: When
we go to Congress or state legislators and ask them
for certain privileges, they say, 'Show us some research that you've been doing to prove that you can
do this.' That's what we've got to do and that's where
the future of the profession lies."

Simons, D.C.
John Simons, D.C., was president of the ACAfrom 1971
to 1972. He is currently in private practice in Albuquerque,
NM.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"The acceptance of chiropractic by Medicare. It made
a trend-change within the insurance industry and
within the public's mind as to the value of our services. It's too bad that our profession has to depend
on government and the courts to decide its future,
but it seems that that's the way it has to move. Like
in the early 1900s, Congress took over and closed 108
medical schools because they were diploma mills and
left eight. And the only ones they left were like Harvard, Yale and Stanford. The period of evolution of
medicine is the evolution of chiropractic. The things
we fight for are very often our very defense. And
although we don't necessarily always like the full outcome of something, the effect of government and the
courts has done a lotfor us. And, of course, the ACA's
responsible for that."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"I think chiropractic is more than holding its own,
as far as professional compatibility. We are certainly
able to hold our heads up equal to any other professional person. I think that we are equally as good at
our profession as the rest are at theirs. I think that's
accepted by the other professions, as well as by society. I think the only ones who hurt our own image
are ourselves. I don't think the other professions at
this point in time - with the exception of the radicals
like we may have in our own profession - hold us
any lower or higher than we really are. I don't think
medicine give's a damn where we stand as long as we
do our job. We're held right where we want to be."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I'm personally on the Board of Governors of a
crippled children's hospital in California. My position
on that hospital board is on two committees: one is
patient procurement and second is quality control.
The fact that a chiropractor would be on the Board of
Governors of a hospital under quality control to doctors' surgical services and nursing services - I would
say the position is certaining not demeaning in any
way. As far as chiropractic is standing right now, I
don't know what the profession itself will do by the
year 2000. I think that chiropractic will probably be
the overseer of most of your physical therapeutics.
That's where I see our role fitting into the healing arts
community. I don't feel that chiropractic will be anything like it was, for example, as far as general practice. I think that we're the only ones going to be capable of diagnosing a spinal problem and correcting
it. Feeling disorders and sensation disorders are not
even studied or understood by anybody but chiropractors. So other than diseases and infectious disease, which are in the main preventable, chiropractic
is the only one that has any background in physical
therapeutics at all for healing. I think we will be a lot
more widely recognized than many think. I think that
the first group of chiropractors who are let in to any
major hospital - and there is a trend here in Albuquerque to involve chiropractors on the staff of a major diagnostic and therapeutic hospital - will do
nothing but produce money for the hospital association. It is a role that we have to accept, being reasonable and prudent chiropractors instead of on the
outside being fanatics. When we accept the position
that we're capable of being, there are no problems. I
think we're going to be surprised. Some of us oldtimers may not altogether like the limitations that are
placed on us, but they're certainly going to be there.
But it will certainly be much easier, and I think we'll
make more money, if the bottom line is dollars.
"I think probably the most dangerous thing hapACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
pening to chiropractors right now are HMOs. I've
been in three and I've resigned from them. I'm now
involved in a medical PPO. I think HMOs, where they
have complete control over our practice, are very demeaning. I think it is very critical to our survival that
we do not participate in HMOs. I think that our participation in PPOs as a preferred practitioner with a
limitation of treatment - which is going to be the
trend of the nation - is a good position, but we have
no business in HMOs."
"Even if hospital privileges are
limited, it is going to be a great
benefit to our patients."
John W.
Schwietert, D.C.
John Schwietert, D.C., was president of the ACA from
1972 to 1973. He is currently in private practice in Rapid
City, SO.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"Accreditation by the Office of Education. It opened
up so many avenues for research ... and pulled us
up into the scientific community by having accredited
education. I don't believe it has necessarily improved
our chiropractic education, but it has improved other
peoples' views of our background. The fact that it is
now accredited is important. Before they've always
said, 'Why, that college is not even accredited.' So it
added prestige to our diploma. I think because of that
- and the way it affected Congress, loans for the
students, housing loans and everything else - it
helped our profession in many diverse ways."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"I think it stands on the verge of change. It seems
as though the human race is always averse to change.
They want everything the way it was. They're comfortable with the way things are, even if it's mediocre.
But we're on the verge of Change."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as

"Looking into the future, I think that hospital priv23

ileges and working for armed services inclusion furthering our availability to them - are going to be
things I'm looking for. But I don't always think that
these things are going to happen in the next 10 or 11
years. But I do hope for hospital privileges and the
advantages of being able to order some of these sophisticated tests, such as MRI and CAT scan, that are
now unavailable to us. Even if the hospital privileges
are limited, it is going to be a great benefit to our
patients. Now I have to call a medical doctor and he
has to admit the patient for me. I have to tell him
what tests I think the patient needs and then I lose
control of the situation. If they come back, I'm lucky.
So I think that's going to help us.
"I'm certainly against any use of prescription medicines for any reasons, Some are thinking they're in
favor of that. I think pain is a good diagnostic tool
for chiropractic. If it's covered up, then I lose the
ability to say, 'Is this patient getting better or is he
feeling better just because of an artificial cover-up by
the painkillers?' Chiropractic is changing - I don't
always think for the better. Being an old-timer - I
first went to chiropractic college in 1942 - I think
some of the good of the application of chiropractic is
being lost over a period of time. I'm not saying we're
closing our mind to new advancements, but the application is changing and when to use it is changing.
We used to depend on it for almost everything. Now
a lot of the families are losing track of the fact that it
used to be Widely used, and they're being more selective and it's limiting the use of chiropractic, when
it could be used to advantage to a greater humber of
conditions. "
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"Recognition of CCE by the U.S. Office of Education. That was the one thing that gave credibility to
the D.C. degree. It had enormous impact, moving us
from being a marginal to mainstream profession.
Without that, the D.C. degree would not be able to
take its place alongside the other first professional
degrees. That was the major transformational experience, I think, for the profession."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"It stands today in adolescence. It is growing, but
somewhat awkwardly. But nonetheless it is trying to
grow up and trying to mature. It is going through all
of the growing pains that any organism goes through
as it moves from adolescence to adulthood. I think
the growth has been enormous. And I think if you
track the growth and changes you'll track them from
the recognition of CCE. You'll notice that a whole lot
of things followed. The growth is very strong, but it
is not an orderly growth, nor is it a predictable growth..
We seem to be sticking out of places where we didn't
expect to. It's certainly not predictable - it's kind of
like that of a typical teenager. He or she grows funny
and kind of looks awkward for a while and has pimples and some parts don't seem to fit. And suddenly
they transform into adults and everything seems to
fill in. And I expect that if all goes well, we'll be filling
in for the next ten years."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.

How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"I'm a third generation chiropractic physician. My
grandfather started in chiropractic in 1916. During my
lifetime 1 have seen tremendous changes in the public
acceptance of chiropractic. There's just a much better
acceptance of the drugless premises of chiropractic
and spinal manipulative therapy, as well as extremity
manipulation. The inclusion in insurance is also a
change. In my state, Blue Cross had no coverage for
chiropractors until about ten years ago. The state employees' insurance requested chiropractic coverage,
threatening to open up the contract to rebidding. So
reluctantly Blue Cross included chiropractic. And they
had such a favorable underwriting experience that on
the renewal date they included chiropractic services
in all of their group contracts. That had widespread
effects, because in Idaho Blue Cross provides 22 percent of the group insurance coverage and whatever
Blue Cross does, everybody else follows. So insurance
coverage has definitely increased. It has helped when
all states licensed chiropractic."

customary to furnish chart notes rather than just insurance forms and statements in order to substantiate
necessity of treatment. In order to fit in the mainstream, there will be a necessity for comprehensive
examinations and documentation of chart notes to
substantiate treatment for a diagnosis.
"There will also be more keen competition among
practitioners in the future. Since the deregulation of
the medical profession, which started under President
Kennedy, where they gave financial incentives for
medical schools to increase their enrollment, there is
an abundance of medical doctors and an abundance
of dentists. Now there are, 1think, four dental schools
that will be closing their doors with the graduating
class this year. Medical schools are curtailing enrollment. For example, the University of Utah had a
freshman class 25 years ago of 45 students. Then with
financial incentives, they doubled the size of their
class to 90. They have now cut enrollment to 60. Most
medical schools are cutting enrollment in order to
help control the number of doctors, to not create so
much competition. Chiropractic colleges continue to
increase enrollment, turning out more chiropractors.

number of hours - of course, that's what brought
about CCE and accreditation by the U.s. Office of
Education. 1 feel like really and truly we have done
nothing but upgrade in that 25-year period of time.
But the start of it was when the doctors in the ACA,
along with the college presidents, got together and
in a very harmonious way came to the conclusion that
we must increase our standards of education and our
research. We had for many years talked about research and chiropractic but didn't do that much about
it. Now then, just in recent years, we're doing more
and more and more in the field of research. Doctors
of chiropractic, of course, have become involved in
sport injuries treatment and there has been research
in that field. There has been research in nutrition.
We've had many different improvements in our research and development techniques of taking X-rays
and other diagnostic imaging procedures."

it tends to increase gimmicks, offers like no out-ofpocket expense, coupons for free spinal examinations
or $100 of chiropractic services free. Those hardly give
the professional image - it puts it in the rank of the
used car salesman. What we trust is that the public
utilization will go up proportionately with the number
of chiropractic physicians. Now unfortunately if the
ratio does not keep up, and there are more physicians
than utilization, then there is excessive competition.
So it behooves the movement to create more public
awareness, better public education to utilize the services of chiropractic physicians as it relates to spinal
manipulative therapy and drugless therapeutics,
"A big problem that's surfacing now relates to the
drug companies. The migration of patients to drugless
therapeutics and spinal manipulation is of no economic benefit to the drug companies. Therefore, this
erosion has to be curtailed from the standpoint of the
political AMA philosophy and the economics of viability of the pharmaceutical companies. One of two
things might happen. Life will go on. Or, if chiropractors have. limited rights on analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, things like that, there would not

physical therapy through the employees of the hospital. I think that we'll not only improve ourselves in
this country, but we will assist in getting chiropractic
colleges in various foreign countries that have never
had them. I know we are oftentimes called on to write
articles for various journals and magazines of the other
branches of the healing arts. I think that will help
bring even more acceptance. Sol see in the year 2000
- if we continue on the same pace that we're going
on now - there is no reason we shouldn't be on the
same level with all of the other health disciplines that
have been accepted for years. In my 40 years of service
I have seen many, many, many changes. And yet I
have seen a lot of areas that I would have liked to
have made changes in, but I thought to myself: 'Gee
whiz I cannot do this alone - it is going to take a
unified effort.' It has taken us a long time to grow up
from what it was back even before I started in practice.
I started out in the field of medicine - my grandfather
was a medical doctor, an uncle was a medical doctor
and another uncle was a doctor of dental surgery.
Because of my personal 'experience with chiropractic
with a health problem, I switched over to chiropractic.
And believe you me, I've seen so many things develop
in that period of time. I see the year 2000 as being a
level of acceptance that every doctor who is practicing
now will be pleased with and those who are entering
the profession will be very successful with.
"On a negative level, I think one of the things that
has hurt us worse than anything else is all of the
entrepreneurs saying, 'My way is better, do it my
way, pay me a lot of money.' We have educational
institutions to educate the doctors; we don't need all
of this. The main thing they are concerned about is
telling you how to make more money. That's not the
thing. We need to think about the sick person, the
person who is incapacitated we're working with. We
have to think about improving health. If we improve
health and devote our time and our life to that, then
there is no question but that we'll be successful monetarily and be generally accepted by the other doc-

raised chiropractic from sort of an in-house type of
profession to where a lot of people outside of the
profession perceived it to be an emerging profession,
a profession with opportunity, a profession that was
growing. We're now seeing students in the classroom
that had no prior experience with chiropractic. Prior
to that - when I went to school- everybody in that
classroom had a personal experience with chiropractic. Either themselves or one of their family. You'd
go around the classroom and say, 'How did you decide to come to chiropractic college?' and they'd all
have a story to tell. When I was president andstumping the country, I'd ask that same question: 'How did
you come to study chiropractic? Have you had any
prior experience?' Half the class wouldn't even have
had an adjustment yet, and they were in class. And
I'd ask them, 'How did you choose chiropractic for a
career?' 'Well it looks like an uncrowded profession
that's emerging and it has a lot of opportunity: they'd
say. That's the way they perceived it. But it came as

The Second Most
Important Convention
Ever Held In
Philadelphia
u.s.
In 1787, Philadelphia welcomed the first American convention ever held-The
Constitutional Convention; in 1988, Philadelphia is prepared to welcome you to the Twenty-fifth
Annual Meeting of the American Chiropractic Association.
The city was founded in 1682 by William Penn, a wealthy English Quaker, who established
the colony of Pennsylvania as a refuge for persecuted religious minorities. The name he chose for his
city, Philadelphia, is a Greek term for "city of brotherly love."
Philadelphia is a history buff's paradise. Among the many historic landmarks included in
"America's most historic square mile" are: Independence Hall, where the Declaration of
Independence was signed and the Constitution was drafted, the Liberty Bell, The Betsy Ross House,
Old City Hall, home of the first Supreme Court, and monuments to the great 18th Century
statesman, Benjamin Franklin.
For shoppers, Philadelphia has an abundant supply of stores of all kinds, including the famous
John Wanamaker's, our country's first department store. Society Hill and the area around
Rittenhouse Square have large concenttations of antique shops and art galleries. Philadelphia is also
the home of no fewer than 129 museums. Philadelphia is a city that has something of interest to
everyone.
The headquarters hotel for the 1988 ACA Convention is the Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel,
located in the heatt of downtown Philadelphia. It is within walking distance of the historic
landmarks. Just outside the hotel you will find an exciting array of restaurants, malls and
championship sporting events. Philadelphia International Airport, just 15 minutes away, is served
by all major carriers.

developing. There's still room for understanding the
profession and what we do and how we do what we
do. It simply isn't well understood by a large segment
of either the healing arts community or the public at
large. Our emphasis should be on educating them to
what we do. We've come a long way, but there's still
a long way to go. There's just so much that needs to
be done. The insurance industry doesn't understand
chiropractic well - and we have to deal with them
on a daily basis. Our relationship with the legislatures
- the states, as well as the national - still have to
be developed. We've done pretty well with them, but
there are still new legislators coming along who bring
their ignorance and prejudice with them. This is the
thing we're trying to fight - the ignorance and bias
against chiropractic."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I think chiropractic is going to be in the mainstream of the healing arts. By the year 2000, that's
only 12 years away, I think that our people will be
very professional people who will be rendering a recognized service. I think that full recognition won't
have occurred by then; I think it's just beyond that.
Full recognition is where we'll have access to the hospitals and tax-supported hospitals; we'll have a better
working relationship with our other healing arts practitioners, including the medics and the osteopaths,
etc. It probably won't happen in 12 years, but I think
that we'll be very close to it by then. I think it's going
to be a little bit longer than that. The other thing that
has influenced this whole development is the antitrust suit (Wilk et al. vs AMA et al.), which has hit
the medical profession between the eyes. They've reluctantly decided that maybe we'd better accept these
people, that maybe we made an error back then."
"It's going to take a lot of years
for medical doctors to get to know
chiropractors and trust them and
have some confidence in them."
Edwin M. Kenrick, D.C., served as ACA president from
1980 to 1982. He is currently in private practice in Framingham, MA.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"The accreditation of our colleges and the recognition of CCE by the Commission on Education. If I
had to say one it would have to be the recognition of
Council on Chiropractic Education by the Office of
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
Edwin M.
Kenrick, D.C.
Commissioner on Education. That would have to stand
out. That would be paramount. But inclusion in the
Medicare provision was a big one also."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"It has exceeded my dreams. I graduated in 1961
and I came back to Massachusetts, which was an unlicensed state. I practiced for five years. My status
was like that of a bookie. I came back - I was going
to go to another state - and then when I had a couple
of chiropractors from Massachusetts visit me and insult me and challenge me ... and really make me
feel a sense of duty to come back to Massachusetts.
And of course we were licensed here in 1966 and
during that period of time some chiropractors served
time in jail for practicing medicine without a license.
So in the past 25 years, we're doing better and I'm
doing better than I thought we would. We've just
come so far against, and over, the insurmountable·
obstacles, that have been just thrown in front of us
just every inch of the way."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"I think the growth is going to be inch by inch.
There is not going to be a big breakthrough. You
know, it's like in the Deep South, blacks don't have
to ride in the back of the bus, but they still can't get
everyone to love them. It's just an old thing and it's
going to take a lot of years to tum it around. It's going
to take a lot of years for medical doctors to get to
know chiropractors and trust them and have some
confidence in them and begin to have a professional
dialogue and rapport with them. So, unless we can
do it in the Congress of the United States - which I
doubt, because they're in there fighting us every inch
of the way - it's going to be tough. I think the merger
that's on the horizon is going to help. I think that we
must use a sense of fairness with our colleagues in
dealing with their patients - my message to students
was always to take care of the patients and the cash
register would take care of itself. So if we can get
chiropractors to put that patient ahead of their pocketbooks, I think that's coming a long way. It's going
to be inch by inch."

"I wish they (new graduates)
would be as interested in helping the
profession as they are in making
money."
Kenneth W.
Padgett, D.C.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"The certification by the Office of Education because that brought our profession to a standard of
excellence on a par with the other professions. As a
result of that, we were able to get Medicare and important things like that, where if we hadn't been certified and had the educational standards, I don't think
we'd have been able to make the great strides we've
made.
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"I think it stands head and shoulders above where
it stood 25 years ago. I find that we're So well off that
our graduates coming out now are complacent to a
certain extent. They're only interested in one thing
and that is making money. They're not interested in
bettering the profession as much as I feel they should
be. They're not getting involved in the legislative aspect, in the political picture, they're only getting involved in the financial thought. When I came out and
practiced in New York State, we didn't have a license.
Our main thing was to get a license. 'Chiropractic'
was a word you didn't even mention; today it's accepted. I think that's primarily due to the efforts of
the chiropractors who got involved. Today, the newer
doctors don't have to worry about that. Granted they
do come out of college a lot further in debt than I did
too. Of course, that doesn't take away from the fact
that I think they're interested in helping people. But
I wish they'd be as interested in helping the profession as they are in making money."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"Well, I think the future's good. I think we need
to keep chiropractic where it belongs - I think to a
certain extent the chiropractic profession has given
II
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
up a lot of chiropractic. I think what we've given up,
the medical profession has picked up, and I think
what the medical profession has given up, we've tried
to pick up. I think we should practice chiropractic.
That doesn't mean we should not use modalities, and
injunctive therapy and nutritional sorts of things."
"I think the challenge for true
professional maturity is perhaps
greater today than it ever has been
before."
Weldon L.
Odom, D.C.
Weldon L. Odom, D.C., currently serves as Past Presidentof the ACA. President from 1985 until 1987, he is in
private practice in Riverdale, GA.
What do you think is the most significant event
that has affected chiropractic, either positively or
negatively, in the 25 years of the ACA's existence?
"Getting chiropractic licensed in all 50 states. Even
25 years ago, we still had a few states that did not
license chiropractic and I think that (licensing) was
the basis for everything we did. Once we got licensed
in all 50 states we were able to move to influence the
federal government. We were able to get included in
Medicare and on the heels of that, we were able to
have CCE recognized, which has accredited our colleges. Of course, I think the potential for an event
that would affect chiropractic as greatly as anything
else since the inception of ACA would be the accomplishment of what was attempted at the time ACA
was created. Of course, that is an attempt to consolidate NCA and ICA into one association, which almost worked but didn't quite. Today, we're back at
a point in our history where that again is a very strong
possibility."
How do you think chiropractic stands today?
"In many respects, I think chiropractic stands in a
taller and stronger position than it ever has before in
its history. However, I think - because of many of
the positive changes that have occurred within the
last 25 years - the challenge for true professional
35
maturity is perhaps greater today than it ever has been
before. Consequently, the stakes are higher. While
we have perhaps achieved more, to those to whom
more has been given, more is required. I think we
have to reach a level of maturity to match the stage
of development we have achieved in order to really
cement this into something that we can hold onto and
something that we Can use as a base to project ourselves forward into the next 100 years of the profession in even a-stronger manner than what we are now.
If we fail to mature, and to meet the challenge of
today's health-care professionals, I think that we stand
to lose a great deal."
What is the future of chiropractic? Describe it as
you would forecast it for the year 2000.
"My vision, of course, for the profession has been
a united profession, united under one national association's banner and working together for the overall good of all members of the chiropractic profession
and, most importantly, for the public that we're dedicated to serve. I think that the future really is unlimited if we can unite ourselves and corne to a common
agreement on the most important goals for the profession - both short- and long-range goals - and work
in a unified manner to achieve those goals for chiropractic. I think we'll definitely see inclusion of chiropractors on the staffs of hospitals. I think we'll see
even greater inclusion of chiropractic in government
health-care programs. I think that we'll see chiropractic definitely taking a much more visible and
stronger position in sports medicine.
"I think perhaps the very biggest single thing we
need to catapult ourselves into the 21st Century is a
concerted research effort. And I think we can do that
if we unite into one national association and we agree
on our priorities for chiropractic research and we put
our money where our mouth is, so to speak, in research. We need research for the full assessment of
the effectiveness of the total regimen of chiropractic
treatment. So I think you have to incorporate this
strong research background in order to be able to
achieve many of these things that I've mentioned. I
think that we must continue a strong marketing effort,
as well. I also think that some of our educational
institutions must become affiliated with state institutions of higher learning. I don't think all of them
should; I think there is always a place for the private
chiropractic college. But I also believe that chiropractic
needs to become a part of the orthodox educational
system in the United States. We should become associated with, at least in some areas, the state and
private universities and colleges, outside of the chiropractic domain."

Reflections on the Future and
New Moves for a World Federation
By David Chapman-Smith
SUMMARY: Chiropractic care is increasingly being recognized as a
valuable part of health care. But to continue the advancement of the
profession, chiropractors must be willing to communicate openly
with the rest of society. And chiropractors worldwide will benefit if
that communication includes a dialogue within a new world federation of chiropractors.
Two weeks ago I read a wellmeaning but naive contribution in
David Chapman-Smith
David Chapman-Smith, 40, is a Canadian attorney who has recently been
appointed chairman of a Chiropractic
Presidents' Committee struck to propose a constitution for a new world
federation of national chiropractic associations. Mr. Chapman-Smith first
achieved prominence with the chiropractic profession actingas counsel for
the New Zealand Chiropractors' Association before theNew Zealand Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic in
1978179. Forthe past six years he has
lived in Toronto, Ontario acting fulltime for the chiropractic profession on
an international basis. He is editorl
publisher of a successful new publication, "The Chiropractic Report," published in English and French and subscribed to by thousands ofchiropractors
in 38 countries.
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
a state chiropractic journal. The author, a D.C., was criticizing two
chiropractors attending the Spring
Symposium of the American Back
Society in Orlando, FL May 12-15,
for presenting chiropractic research and clinical skills on the
program.
They are "in there giving away
our expertise to the PTs and MDs,"
said the writer, and we chiropractors "must get off our gluteals and
wake up ... and let our professional schools know that we will
not tolerate chiropractic being
handed on an interdisciplinary
platter to those who would destroy
us." Do you think this isolationist
approach is healthy in the 1988
health-care marketplace? I think it
presents an anemic future for chiropractic.
Last week I attended that same
American Back Society meeting in
Orlando, and saw the possibility of
a full-blooded future for chiropractic. The cream of North America's
spinal specialists from every
profession shared their knowledge
and skills and no profession gained
more than chiropractic. I wish the
state journal author, and you, could
have been there to learn firsthand:
• The ABS was founded in 1982
by Dr. Aubrey Swartz, an Oakland
orthopaedic surgeon who had for
some' years had a sound referral
practice both ways with chiropractors.
• The Orlando meeting had
nearly 600 registrants, drawing
prominent attorneys, D.C.s, D.O.s,
neurosurgeons, nurses, orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physical
therapists and rheumatologists
fromacross North America. Fortyseven percent of those in attendance were M.D.s, 27 percent chiropractors.
• It is the nature of such occasions that everyone is sharing skills
and knowledge "on an interdisciplinary platter." Do you want chiropractors to be in there with the
action, or playing alone beyond the
left-field fence? If you are unsure,
please read on.
• In a blue-chip scientific program, North America's gathered
experts heard that in 1988 the approaches of surgery on one hand,
or rest and inactivity on the other,
were almost always inappropriate
for the management of spinal problems. State-of-the-art in the health
sciences is conservative, non-in-'
vasive care emphasizing early res39
\
toration of function. In 1988 thesingle treatment approach with the most
evidence of effectiveness is "spinal manipulation!"
• High quality presentations by
David Cassidy, D.C., William Kirkaldy-Willts, M.D., Scott Haldeman, D.C., M.D., and John Triano,
D.C., left everyone with. the clear
knowledge and percepfion that
chiropractic was the best available
source of this most favored treatment approach - skilled assessment of mechanical function and
specific techniques of manipulation.
• At a reception, I overheard a
"neurosurgeon explaining to a chiropractor that he had known nothing intelligent about chiropractors
until now, but was highly impressed by the research and clinical
sophistication presented by the
chiropractic profession at this
meeting. The message of this conference that he will take back to his
colleagues is that skilled manipulation has a central role with the
great majority of spinal injuries. He
knows he can't provide this service. Who is he going to turn to? lf
the chiropractic profession is to
thrive it should be a chiropractor.
I don't know what he will do. I do
know, however, that he has an adjusted reality concerning chiropractic and, following his trip to
Orlando, is much more likely to refer to a chiropractor and suggest
this to his colleagues.
So what is the future of chiropractic? I will move from the above
experience to consideration of some
market realities, then talk about the
current move to establish a world
federation of chiropractic and the
reasons why every major national
chiropractic organization worldwide is behind this.
Market Realities
The world can - and does change according to market realities. The oldest profession in the
world had a seemingly firm grip on
the Reeperbahn in Hamburg, West
Germany, notorious worldwide for
40
its Palace of Love and ladies of the
night. However, changes in market conditions (fear of AIDS, the
arrival of quality, legitimate theatre
with shows such as CATS, and now
even a McDonald's hamburger bar)
have recently decimated the ancient profession and reduced its
numbers by over 70 percent.
In the U.S. nearly 50 percent of
MDs under age 35 are now employees on a salary because of market influences - unthinkable 10
years ago. In Canada, the Ontario
government, responding principally to the market factor of unacceptable cost increase, is creating
a new licensed profession of midwives with a view to midwives
handling 90 percent of births within
10 years. The medical specialty of
obstetrics and gynecology will progressively become much smaller
and less significant. In the 1930s
there were over 200 osteopaths in
Ontario, but the profession is virtually nonexistent today because it
failed to respond to market realities.
ity and the sudden shift at the cuttIng edge of medicine - finally to early restoration of function.
• Now that spinal manipulation
is clean,. and given that nearly
everyone has back pain or headache, and given the potential for
patient contact and income, the
practice of spinal manipulation becomes highly desirable.
• Some M.D.s will try it, few will
persist. In the years just ahead the
majority of family physicians will
be looking for a source of skilled
spinal manipulation to which they
can refer.
• For P.T.s there can be no more
attractive basis fur practice, especially where the goal of primary
practice has been achieved (which
in due time will be in many jurisdictions either by law or in practical effect). They pray every night
that chiropractors will tell the world
that D.C.s do not "manipulate,"
only "adjust," which is different.
• Increasingly patients have their
health-care decisions for neuromusculo-skeletal disorders made
for them - whether by employer,

The first point is that, if chirolation, and the compelling evidence of ineffectiveness of many practic is to hold its current market

dence against bedrest and inactiv- openly, confidently, and profes-
sionally with all groups in society,
especially other health-care providers and the insurance and legal
professions. This is the key. That
is why I began this provocative little piece with the Orlando story.
To gain the acceptance of these
pivotal third parties in the marketplace, chiropractic must present an
appropriate image of itself. I suggest this should emphasize the following points:
• Educational background of
chiropractors (widely misunderstood).
• Chiropractic as one of the senior players in the existing health
team (emphasizing degree of cooperation with other health professionals in research, education and
practice).
• Chiropractic as used primarily
in the treatment of headache, neck
pain, back pain and referred pain
to the extremities (this happens to
be true from the consumer's viewpoint - see the recent ACA Department of Statistics Survey; it
speaks to the marketplace because
everyone suffers from these conditions; and it presents an image
of the profession capable of acceptance by other health professionals, lawyers and the insurance
industry. To try and tell non-patients about the effect of the adjustment on the nervous system
and total health simply bites off
more than can be chewed).
• Chiropractic as non-invasive,
natural, safe one-stop-care and
providing quick results (all important market factors). ,
• Cost-effective (particularly
useful with employers and the insurance industry).
The aim of this market image is
to deliver the maximum number of
patients to the chiropractor's doorstep. My second point is that, with
the patient now in the office, it is
up to individual chiropractors - as
it always has been and will be to make the patient truly understand chiropractic. Only now is
there the trust, time, and motivation through pain enabling the av1 ,
f
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
erage person to develop the necessary attention span.
Communication is now at a completely different level. Chiropractors should talk of adjustment,
subluxation, the innate healing
powers of the body, the effects of
the adjustment on neurophysiology, and the chiropractic wellness
concept of health care. I do not
think there is any replacement for
showing the patient the x-ray, the
in-office model of the spine and
spinal nerves, and with these explaining the logical and exciting
chiropractic principle of good
health through relief of interference with the nervous system and
a balanced lifestyle.
"In the small modern
world, the image of
chiropractic given in
your office influences
not only your practice
.. . but the practice of
chiropractors
worldwide. "
In summary then, there must be
a two-step process. In the first you
identify yourself to the world as a
highly-trained, skilled and scientifically proven alternative within
the established health-care system.
In the second you cultivate a real
understanding of chiropractic
health care. This is the road to success in the evolving health-care
marketplace.
A New World Federation
Why? Today the world is small
and the chiropractic profession has
spread worldwide. Your patient
and his/her friend may be getting
their next adjustment in Mexico,
Hawaii, Paris, Sydney or Hong
Kong. At least let's hope they get
an adjustment, and not simply machine therapy or a nutritional profile or acupuncture.
The need for a better and more
consistent chiropractic identity
worldwide is one reason for the
powerful new initiative to create a
world federation of national chiropractic associations described
below. Other reasons are the need
for a forum for communication
generally, a data base of information (on legislation, research, public relations literature, insurance
coverages in the various countries,
etc.), a professional body that international organizations - from
the World Health Organization to
the International Olympic Committee - can deal with, and a
source of regular international congresses showcasing chiropractic
research and practice in different
centers across the world.
These matters were raised by the
Australian Chiropractors' Association at the First World Presidents'
Summit, convened by the European Chiropractors' Association
and held in London in September,
1987. The Australians, seconded by
the Canadians, moved that the
Summit:
"Establish a Presidents' Committee to report to national chiropractic associations at the International Chiropractic Congress in
Sydney, Australia in October 1988
on the structure, role, and desirability of an international federation
of national chiropractic associations."
There was unanimous support
for such a Committee, its work to
be equally funded by the American
Chiropractic Association, the Australian Chiropractors' Association,
the Canadian Chiropractic Association, the European Chiropractors' Union and the International
Chiropractors Association. I was
privileged to be appointed Chairman. Developments since September 1987 have been:
• By November, 1987 the Committee and its funding had been
ratified by the above "big five" chiropractic organizations.
• In December, 1987 a detailed
questionnaire was forwarded to
41
every jurisdiction worldwide
known to have one or more practicing chiropractors. At the same
time current constitutions were received from many existing world
federations (e.g., International
Federation of Physical Medicine,
World Medical Association, International Organization of Consumers Unions, World Federaton
of Public Health Associations, etc.).
• These constitutions and the replies from chiropractic associations
worldwide were analyzed during
March/April 1988, and in Maya
second questionnaire was mailed.
This invited response to draft proposals on all issues relevant to the
formation of a world federation matters such as regional structure,
funding, voting, functions, location of offices and official languages.
• Replies are to be received by
early July. At that stage a draft constitution will be sent to chiropractic
associations worldwide, to be discussed and voted upon at a World
Presidents' Summit and special
World Federation Meeting in Sydney, Australia October 2 and 4,
1988.
How are these forthright steps to
put in place a new world federation of relevance to this article and
your practice? In the small modern
world the image of chiropractic
given in your office influences not
only your practice and your colleagues in state but the practice of
chiropractors worldwide. Likewise
someone from your town who has
a bad experience of chiropractic
elsewhere will influence patient attitudes in your community. If there
was to be legislation in one country
denying chiropractors the right of
primary practice or the use of xray, modern comunications would
give this an immediate cascade effect internationally. Unprofessional public relations literature in
one country is immediately used
by medical associations on the other
side of the world to discredit the
profession.
Quite simply if chiropractic is to
flourish as a senior, respected, and
frequently chosen alternative
within the health-care system, there
must be a unified international perspective and a sharing of resources
and information. All other significant health professions, and most
medical specialties, have world
federations. All large national chiropractic associations agree it is
time for chiropractic to meet them,
not only at the national level, but
also in the international marketplace.
In conclusion, let us all stand
proud for chiropractic. Today this
involves displaying your learning
and treatment skills to all so that it
is known that you surpass your
competitors in art, science, and
service.

Attractions Abound in Historic Philadelphia
for ACA Convention Attendees
SUMMARY: Numerous attractions aw.ait those attlmding the
25th annual ACA convention in
Philadelphia this month. Among
the attractions are many of great
historical significance, including
Independence National Historic
Park, called "the most historic
square mile in America." It is located just over a mile from the
Wyndham Hotel, site of the con,
vention.
In a year when chiropractors c,+
ebrate a historic court decision, it
is perhaps appropriate that the
profession gathers in a historic
place. And Philadelphia, site of this
month's ACA convention, is certainly near the top of anyone's list
of historic places in the United
States.
The 25th annual convention begins June 22 at the Wyndham
Franklin Plaza Hotel in the heart of
Philadelphia. Convention-goers:
who have time for sightseeing will
have a lengthy list of attractions to
choose from.
For those interested in history,
the famed Independence National
Historic Park awaits - little more
thana mile away from the Wyndham Hotel. Called "the most historic square mile in America," the
park is comprised of 15 individual
attractions. Topping the list in historic significance is Independence
Hall, on Market Street between 5th
and 6th Streets. It was here that the
Declaration of Independence was
adopted and where the Ll.S. Constitution was written. Tours of the
hall are available throughout the
day;
Two blocks to the north is another famous site, the Liberty Bell
44
Pavilion, a glass-enclosed building
that houses the nation's most hallowed symbol of liberty.
Of course, Independence National Park is only one of many
places of interest in and around
Philadelphia. Within the city are
numerous other historic sites, including the Betsy Ross House, 239
Arch St., where Betsy Ross lived
and where she is credited with
making the first American flag.
Nearby are three other historic
sites: the Arch Street Meeting
House, Christ Church and Christ
Church Burial Ground. The meeting house, at 4th and Arch Streets,
was built on land William Penn
gave to the Quakers in 1693. The
,main part of the house was built in
1804. Quaker artifacts are displayed throughout and a receptionist is on hand to answer questions and speak about Quaker
history and beliefs.
The Christ Church Burial
Ground, 5th and Arch Streets, is
where Benjamin Franklin and numerous other Colonial and Revolutionary War leaders are buried.
Christ Church, on 2nd Street above
Market, is a nearly 300-year-old
church where patriots, loyalists,
heroes and traitors worshipped.
George Washington, Betsy Ross
and Benjamin Franklin are all
known to have attended church
here.
Just outside of Philadelphia is
another historic site, Germantown. Founded in 1693 when Wih
liam Penn deeded the land to a
group of German settlers, it is a
National Historic Landmark. Many
of the buildings in this area, six
miles northwest of Philadelphia,
have been restored to their earliest
appearances. There are examples
of Victorian eclectic architecture,
museums featuring early Ameri-
can dress and early toys and dolls
and a one-room schoolhouse built
in 1775.
For those interested in enjoying
the June weather, Fairmount Park
offers more than 8;700 acres of open
space. Located just west ofthe convention site, the park is the largest
landscaped city park in the world.
It sits on the banks of the Schuykill
River and offers winding creeks,
rustic trails, green meadows and
jogging, bike and bridle paths. Visitors can rent sailboats, canoes and
bicycles, play tennis and golf, swim
or see a symphony concert. A trolley bus provides tours of the park
daily.
Other attractions in and around
Philadelphia include:

Fall Tour Includes
Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific
By Darlene (Mrs. Kenneth) Luedtke
ACAuxiliary Parliamentarian
Darlene Luedtke
There are many good reasons for
belonging to the ACA, but some of
the nicest and most fun reasons are
the overseas tours sponsored by the
ACA. I'm fortunate to have been
able to travel on most of them during the past few years, and have
found all of them to be most enjoyable. Since I have never traveled
"down under," I am especially
looking forward to the Australian!
New Zealand tour. All of the comments I have heard about New
Zealand include raves about its
breath-taking beauty, and since
Australia is an island continent, its
plant and animal life has some
characteristics unique to that country.
Originally the trip was planned
to cover 18. days. However, since
some doctors found it difficult to
52
be away from their practice for that
length of time, the trip has been
divided into two nine-day sections. The first will focus on Australia and the International Chiropractic Congress '88, and the
second phase will also have a chiropractic educational component,
the New Zealand Seminars. The
second phase will include a stopover at one of the South Seas Islands. You may sign up for the first
or both of the trips.
In the past, articles have been
written mostly following the trip
and about our adventures and good
times, but I thought it might be nice
for a change to preview the trip.
Because it is necessary to meet a
March deadline for this issue, and
because not all of the details are
finalized at this time, I wish to state
that these plans, although they are
what we expect, are tentative plans
and some slight adjustments may
yet have to be made. Watch the FYI
for specific times and costs.
Our first stop and primary focus
of the initial trip will be Sydney
and the International Chiropractic
Congress '88, including the Spine
and Low Back Pain Symposium,
Oct. 2-9. The Congress will have
three concurrent programs, an Academic, Chiropractic in Practice and
an Accompanying Persons program. The Academic Program will
have five major streams: Chiropractic Education, Research, History and Chiropractic in the Community, and a World Overview. For
those not attending the Congress,
there is a myriad of tours, sights,
activities and celebrations, including optional events at the famous
and beautiful Sydney Opera
House. The Australians are celebrating their 200th year, and special events will be taking place all
year throughout the country. It appears we will be lucky enough to
be in Sydney for the Bicentennary
International Naval Salute on October 1, when an armada of Australian and foreign ships will visit
Sydney Harbour for a spectacular
display.
Another city we will visit is
Cains, and the northwest coast area
of tropical Queensland. Cains is
known as the gateway to the wonderous Great Barrier Reef, which
stretches 1,200 miles and is considered the world's largest living object. There will be time for a fullday cruise to the coral cay of Green
Island, located on the Reef. We will
visit the Underwater Observatory,
where brilliantly colored coral gardens and tropical fish are viewed.
Glass-bottom boats are available for
Reef viewing or you may snorkel.
Whether you choose to relax on one
of the alabaster beaches fringed
with coconut palms or explore the
Reef at low tide, it appears to be a
great adventure waiting to happen.
We hope to include Brisbane, the
capital city of Queensland and site
of one of the highlights of the Australian bicentennial year, Expo '88.

Chiropractic Represented at
American Medical Student Convention
By Lee R. Selby, D.C.
Project Chairman
SUMMARY: For the sixth consecutive year, the ACA was represented at the annual convention
of the American Medical Student
Association. Throughout that
time, the number of medical students and sponsors who have
visited the ACA booth has continued to increase.
It was again my honor and privilege to represent the ACA at the
38th Annual Convention of the
American Medical Student Assodation [AMSAj held in Washin?;ton, D.C., March 23-27.
The ACA has sponsored a booth
at the annual AMSA convention for
the last six years. The first chiropractic presentation was in 1983
and, since that time, I have seen
the number of medical students
and sponsors visiting our booth
greatly increase.
I believe this is some of the most
productive money the ACA spends
for several reasons. This project is
a joint venture between the ACA
and members of the Student American Chiropractic Association
[SACAj, who encourage one or
more of their representatives to assist the ACA in interaction with the
AMSA attendees.
This year SACA was very professionally and capably represented
by Eric Lee, president of the national student association and an
intern at Palmer College of Chiro56

practic-West. He did an excellent
job of representing the student
doctors in our profession.
The theme of this year's convention was "Health and Peace in the
Year 2000." A broad array of
speakers and topics were presented covering many areas of
health care. Some of the health-care
subjects addressed were AIDS, implementation of a national health
system, and cholesterol ,- is it

surprised and delighted to find out how well they
are being educated in comparison to the medical
student,"
really a risk to your health?
In keeping with the convention
theme, AMSA members were exposed to a variety of political and
social issues by speakers well educated and versed in these respective fields.
AMSA's meeting had some similarity to our national legislative
conference in that it sponsored sessions on successful lobbying techniques and a legislative briefing and
then interested participants spent
one morning on Capitol Hill discussing legislative issues with their
respective state congressional delegations.
Internationally renowned physicist, Dr. Carl Sagan of the Center
for Radiophysics and Space Research, gave a keynote address on,
"A Planetary Perspective." His TV
show, "Cosmos," was the highest
rated program throughout the entire series on PBS.
AMSA has been very involved in
anti-nuclear weapons activities and
at every meeting usually sponsors
several speakers on this subject.
A brief description of some of the
positive opportunities of this meeting would be:
1. It affords our student officers
the opportunity to intermingle with
future medical practitioners and almost overnight develop a much
broader perspective on health care
and those who deliver it. Our student representatives are always
surprised and delighted to find out
how well they are being educated
in comparison to the medical student and how we in our profession
are not the only ones with problems. Each year, they return to their
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
college campuses with a renewed
appreciation for the chiropractic
profession. I firmly believe they will
be more positive future leaders because of this exposure.
Additionally our student representatives are able to attend the
various sessions and hear the
speakers, which allows them to be
informed on several issues of interest, as well as pick up ideas on
how they might better lead SACA.
2. The ACA sponsors a booth at
this meeting and disseminates appropriate chiropractic information
to medical students. This is probably the only opportunity our
profession has in existence where
we can actually disperse chiropractic information both by written
material and by oral presentation
to students and future medical
physicians from all the campuses
across the U.s. and many foreign
schools.
There is always a tremendous interest at our booth and it keeps us
busy practically all of our exhibitor
time discussing chiropractic with
the medical students. They are very
cordial and interested in possible
alternative health-care sources, and
I believe are receptive to at least
listening to what we have to offer.
I hope our efforts here will help
develop an attitude of professional
cooperation for patient benefit that
will continue to express itself
throughout many years.
The exhibit activity gives our student representatives a tremendous
opportunity to discuss chiropractic
in all of its aspects. Many questions
are asked relative to our curriculum, cost of education, location of
school, hours in the basic sciences,
clinical application and of course
the problems we have in our
profession, which are self-evident
to the public (flamboyantadvertising, overutilization, etc.).
3. At each meeting, we usually
have requests for speakers at some
of the medical schools. This year
we had requests to provide speakers for the medical student bodies
at the following colleges: University of Virginia, Charlottesville,
University of Massachusetts Medical School, University of South
Carolina School of Medicine and
University of New Jersey at West
Orange.
We are currently working with
the ACA delegates and other
known qualified individuals to arrange for these speakers.
4. Approximately every other
year we are extended the opportunity to present in a formal manner a chiropractic presentation on
the scheduled program of AMSA.
Last year, we had a very good program presented by the Texas College of Chiropractic. We are hopeful that perhaps next year we can
be again included as one of their
program topics. We will need to
work on this between now and
then.
Each year that I have chaired this
project, I have been renewed with
the impression of its importance
and benefit. This year was no exception. I hope the ACA maintains
this project as one of its top priority
ancillary ventures for the publicrelations and inner professional development possibilities that it offers.

Council President
Paper Approved
The revised Council position paper was overwhelmingly approved
by the membership and will be
.presented as a report to the House
of Delegates at the annual June
convention in Philadelphia.
Also to be presented to the Delegates at that meeting is the Council on Mental Health Diplomate
Program. The membership of the
Council supports the Diplomate
Program as it is proposed and
would like to take this opportunity
to ask the state delegates to vote
for this program's approval.
I would like to take this time to
share the emphasis of the Council.
The emphasis of the Council is to
investigate chiropractic' methods
including adjusting/manipulation
and physical and psychotherapy
methods as may buttress the fundamental chiropractic premise and
could in some constructive way become part of our general practice.
We also identify adjusting/manipulation as the primary method of
treatment.
Members Thanked
I thank all of our members for
their enthusiastic support. Our
membership ranks continue to
grow. Any member in good standing with the American Chiropractic Association is invited to join the
Council on Mental Health and participate in our many interests and
in one of the Council's new areas
of study, investigating the intricacies of the doctor/patient/healing
relationship.

Calgary Olympics Was
A First for Chiropractors
By D. Gordon Hasick, D.C.
Chief Chiropractic Officer
1988 Olympic Winter Games
D, Gordon Hasick, D,C.
The 1988 Olympic Winter Games
in Calgary established a new
standard in health-care facilities
provided by the host country,
In Calgary, for the first time in
any Olympics, chiropractors joined
with medical specialists and other
therapists to offer health-care services to athletes, team members and'
other official participants,
Six years ago, 0, c. 0" the or'
ganizing committee for the Calgary
Games, recognized the contribution that chiropractors could make,
and agreed to include chiropractic
as an official service by the host
organization. This was the result of
a long and intense lobbying campaign by Alberta chiropractors.
, The role that chiropractors would
play was worked out with Dr. Bruce
Challis, Chief Medical Officer, and
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
I enjoyed good relations with him
through the six years of preparation for the Games, and the climactic month of February when
athletes were in the Village and
competing.
Two clinics were established
specifically for chiropractic treatments, and were staffed by a healthcare team of 20 volunteer practitioners. The volunteers all paid for
their own travel to and from the
Olympics, and also took care of
their own lodging and meals. The
College of Chiropractors of Alberta
was responsible for funding and
operating the two clinics.
The volunteers each served for a
week, and were rostered to cover
specific periods of the day. The
clinics offered service between
February 1 and 28.
Patients from seven countries
were treated - Canada, China,
Costa Rica, Finland, France, Switzerland and the United States. In all
23 patients were treated; five of
them were athletes, while the balance were accredited volunteers,
media representatives and V.I.P.s.
Most of the patients had previous experience of chiropractic,
particularly those from California.
However two V.I.P.s who attended were new to chiropractic
and were recommended to the
clinics. They both had musculoskeletal problems and were reported satisfied with their treatment.
It is important to understand that
each participating national team
provides their own physicians and
therapists to handle the needs of
their athletes, and do not call upon
local health services unless absolutely necessary.
Only one of the other participating national teams included a
chiropractor in their support staff,
so there is encouraging significance in the number of patients
who sought our services.
It is also worth noting that the
Olympics is not a time when athletes experiment with new treatments or deviate from their usual
training and treatment schedule.
Therefore we can read into the
usage of the clinics a need for us
to work much harder in all levels
of the sporting community. The
need demonstrated here is surely
essential to the growth of the sports
chiropractic community itself.
I would encourage all chiropractors to become involved at all levels
of sport and encourage wider understanding of the benefits chiropractic could provide. This would
certainly ensure that future Olympic Games see an even greater utilization of chiropractic principles
and practice.
The Olympic Games are the ultimate sporting event, and the ultimate challenge to the world's top
athletes. Chiropractic can help
good athletes get better, and I hope
that we focus not only on acute
care, as we did in Calgary, but on
preparation before the event as
well.
The Calgary Olympics was a
wonderful experience for all of us
on the chiropractic support team,
and I am glad to have been a part
of getting our profession entered
onto the ground floor.
I would like to hear from all doctors in other countries who are also
interested in pursuing chiropractic
goals in sports and ultimately in
the Olympics.

Dangerous Back Pain
By R. Michael Cessna, B.A., D.C.
Dr. Cessna is a former instructor at
Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, where he taught bio-chemistry, pathology and diagnosis. He has
authored and published numerous
professional papers on diagnostic, clinical and laboratory subjects. Dr. Cessna
has been in private practice for over 28
years, emphasizing total health care,
preventive medicine, allergy, clinical
ecology and the balancing of abnormal
blood chemistry through dietary life
style changes and nutritional therapy.
He is currently in private practice in
Rogers, Arkansas. In addition to his
private practice, he lectures to chiropractic physicians throughout the
United States and Canada on clinical
and laboratory procedures, diagnosis,
preventive medicine and therapeutic
nutrition. Dr. Cessna is a former instructor for theTexas Chiropractic College Division of Post-graduate Education in Pasadena, Texas. He presently
holds the office of Vice-president in the
American Chiropractic Association's
Council on Diagnosis and Internal
Disorders.
'serious health problem in a patient
who presents with back pain, provided the clinician is alert to the
various etiologies that contributes
to serious backpain, There are four
specific questions that must first be
answered when patients are presented with pain in the back:
1) Do they have a fever?
2) Is the pain relieved by rest?
3) Are they on blood thinners?
4) Have they ever had cancer?
When any of the above four
statements are positive, their response should be considered "ominous" until proven otherwise; and,
a thorough examination should be
made to determine the underlying
cause of the symptoms. This workup should include:
Recording of the temperature,
multi-channel blood' chemistries,
CBC w/differential, erythrocyte
sedimentation rate, urinalysis, radiographs of the spine, clinical tests
to identify cord lesions and complete physical examination for internal disease.
Abstract
Since the most common symptom presented in a chiropractic office today is "pain in the back";
and since there are several clinical
situations that may cause concern
about life threatening disease in the
patient with back pain; this paper
is presented.
When considering the large population of patients who daily suffer
back pain, many of the following
disorders are uncommon or rare.
Nevertheless, these diseases and
syndromes require immediate
identification and treatment, and
therefore should never go unrecognized.
It is not difficult to diagnose a
Of course, all patients with back
pain should have their temperature recorded. When fever is present, several problems should be
considered immediately. Meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage,
bacterial endocarditis" 2 vertebral
osteomyelitis" 4 and staphylococcus aureus often are the cause. Infection due to intra-venous drug
abuse" or urinary tract infection is
common.
Spinal x-rays are often "normal"
in the first several weeks of illness
with vertebral osteomyelitis. Failure to make this diagnosis may result in disastrous disability, per-
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
VoL 22-6-52
manent neurological deficit, and
even death.
Epidural abscess,' with or without contiguous osteomyelitis, is
heralded by high fever and back
pain with rapid progression of
neurologic events through a typical sequence: Radicular pain in the
back (firstthree days); motor weakness within four days; and finally,
paraplegia or cauda equina compression within the first week. Local spinal tenderness is common.
Subdural empyema' is difficult
to distinguish from epidural abscess, but a preceding or concurrent local focus of infection is often
present. For example, a furuncle or
cellulitis of the back will often exist
- emergency surgery is crucial.
A positive Kernig's Sign and
Brudzinski's Test will provide the
clinical finding that identifies the
seriousness of the symptoms with
back pain and fever due to meningeal pathology." These patients
should undergo extensive laboratory examination to confirm the diagnosis and be referred to an internist.
Fever
Certainly, many other "non-mechanical" disorders may produce
fever with referred back pain.
Among such conditions include:
Acute prostatitis, pelvic infections,
pyelonephritis, perinephric abscess, renal infarction, pancreatitis
or pancreatic abscess, aortic dissection, perforated duodenal ulcer, diverticulitis, retrocecal appendicitis, retroperitoneal hemorrhage and/or abscess, lymphoma, and splenic infarction."
Of course, the patient who exhibits a fever coincidental with mechanically induced back pain must
be differentiated from the patient
whose back pain is the result of

infection. Again, this is best
accomplished by employing spinal
X-rays, orthopedic and neurological tests, blood chemistries, CBC
w/differential, ESR and possibly
C-reactive protein.
Without question, blood chemistries and hematological studies
are absolutely necessary when patients present with back pain and
fever in order to rule out serious
systemic disease.
Malignant Disease
Certainly back pain is dangerous
when the patient is known to have
or has had malignant disease. The
National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (ACA) has recently reported that the largest
settlements for chiropractic malpractice is the failure to recognize
and diagnose cancer." Low back
pain (with or without sciatica) in
the cancer patient should always
alert the examiner to the possibility
of vertebral metastases," paravertebral tumor masses, epidural metastases, 'carcinomatous meningitis, and metastatic plexus lesions.
Vertebral metastases are most
common from the breast, lung,
prostate, thyroid and in renal carcinomas. Fortunately, these metastatic lesions are frequently apparent on spinal x-rays.
Even in the absence of vertebral
bony changes, systemic lymphomas may cause epidural tumor deposits with subsequent cord
compression or cauda equina involvement.!- 13 Occasionally such
neurologic disorders will be the
presenting manifestation of lymphoma.
The importance of CBC with differential, multi-channel blood profiles and tumor marker tests are obvious in patients complaining of
back pain with symptoms or history related to neoplastic disease.
Anti-Coagulants
Back pain in patients whose
present medications include anticoagulant therapy can be ominous.
Such pain may result from straining to lift a heavy object, resulting
in retro-peritoneal hemorrhage by
valsalva effect or, rarely, from
66
spinal epidural hematoma." This
usually produces a syndrome similar to that of back "sprain/strain"
that can be easily missed if the clinician is not cognizant that the patient is presently on anticoagulant
therapy. The clinical signs are similar to epidural abscess but without
fever. Brudzinski's and Kernig's
may be positive.
Of course, heat is contraindicated. The importance of knowing
a patient's medication cannot be
overemphasized.
Not Relieved by Bed Rest
Despite the absence of fever,
neurologic symptoms, or known
cancer, pain that is constant, unrelieved by bed rest, and unrelentingly progressive merits extensive
investigation!
Primary tumors of the spinal cord
(meningiomas, neurofibromas,
ependymomas, sarcomas, gliomas)
may present with ominous back
pain, but sometimes without obvious neurologic findings. IS
Primary tumors of bone (osteoid
osteomas, osteoblastoma): may be
missed on plain x-rays. For this
reason, a bone scan should be ordered.
Multiple myeloma may not be
apparent on either plain x-rays or
bone scan, but the clinical findings
(persistent back pain, elevated
erythrocyte sedimentation rate,
anemia in an elderly patient and
hyperproteinemia) will usually be
suggestive.
A less serious and most common
cause of back pain which is not relieved by bed rest is degenerative
joint disease. Careful history taking, spinal x-rays, negative laboratory findings and the absence of
the other tluee "ominous" signs for
dangerous back pain should identify this painful, but less serious
condition.
Summary
Rule out serious disease when a
patient presents with:
1. Fever: Always record the patients' temperature, as this can easily be missed if you attempt to
identify febrile evidence by palpation. CBC with differential and
Vol. 22-6-53
multi-channel 24 should be ordered.
2. Cancer: Has the patient had
cancer or is presently being treated
for malignant disease?
3. Anti-coagulants: Poorly monitored patients on anti-coagulant
therapy may hemorrhage into the
cord. Often this will occur while
lifting a heavy object. These symptoms can be very misleading, since
they often mimick a "simple back
sprain or strain.
4. Not relieved by rest: Back pain
is suspicious of internal organic
disease or osteoarthritic degenerative joint disease when such pain
is not the result of trauma and continues after gravitational stress has
been eliminated.
5. Finally: "Always assume the
worse, until your examination and
laboratory tests prove otherwise!"

Ossicles of Oppenheimer

Case History
A 23-year-old male presented
with chronic intermittent low back
pain. Prior trauma included a fall
from a barn, at which time radiographic examination revealed a
grade one Type II (Newman classification) spondylolisthesis at L5.
Physical examination inclusive of
orthopedic and neurological tests
was unremarkable.

Radiographic Examination
Examination of the lumbar spine
revealed free ossicles bilaterally at
the second lumbar inferior articular processes. These were seen to
best advantage on the A-P and
oblique radiographs (Figures 1, 2 and
3).
Diagnosis
Persistent ossification centers
(Ossicles of Oppenheimer).'
Figure 1- Ossicles of Oppenheimer
Discussion
Persistent ossification centers are
a common finding throughout the
axial skeleton, especially at the tips
of the transverse and spinous processes. Of lesser known incidence,
however, are the ossicles periodically discovered adjacent to the articular processes of the lumbar
spine.
The typical lumbar vertebra ossifies from three primary centers,
specifically, two for the neural arch
and one for the vertebral body or
centrum. Between the 16th and
29th years secondary ossification
centers appear at the lips of the
transverse processes, spinous
processes, and the annular epiphyseal rings" Interestingly, standard anatomy texts rarely mention
secondary ossification centers for
the articular processes, but do acknowledge centers for the mamillary processes. The existence of the
former is not considered unusual
based upon their frequency of observance during radiologic examination.v ' These secondary centers
usually ossify by age twenty-five.
ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
Vol. 22-6-56
In an effort to understand anomalies of the lumbar vertebral arch,
including spondylolisthesis, Oppenheimer described three ossification centers for each articular
process with an additional ossification center adjacent to the isthmus.> Recent literature however
tends to refute this conclusion.?
Persistent ossification centers of
both inferior and superior articular
processes are found at multiple
levels throughout the lumbar spine
involving both the inferior and superior articular processes. Involvement of the inferior articular process is significantly more common

than of the superior articular process. Horwitz and Smith in a study
of 100 lumbar spines found seven
at the inferior articular processes
and two at the superior articular
processes.' The most prevalent
segmental level appears to be L3. 5
The discovery of persistent ossification centers is usually without
clinical significance; however, discrimination from fracture may be
necessary. I·' Typically this is not
difficult as a relevant history of
trauma is not given and the radiographic features of fracture are
absent. Isolated fractures of the articular processes are unusual and
70
severe trauma of a rotatory nature
is required."
Summary
Persistent ossification centers
adjacent to the tips of the inferior
articular processes of the lumbar
vertebra are relatively common. As
with most ossicles of this type, they
are of little clinical significance with
the exception that they may be
confused with fracture. Differentiation should be a minor diagnostic problem resolved by the radiographic appearance and absence
of significant trauma.

We have taken the guesswork out ofchiropractic advertising.
You don't have to be an advertising expert when what you really are is a chiropractor.
We've done all of the work for you and we've done it right. Using the talents of experienced advertising professionals, we've created powerful print ads plus exciting radio
and television commercials to help build your practice.
The largest selection.
• Choice of3 complete newspaper/direct mail advertising packages
• A professional radio package which includes two' 30 sec. & four 60 sec. spots
• A powerful television package which includes two 30 sec. commercials
The best prices.
You may purchase anyone of our 3 dynamic newspaper/direct mail advertising packages for only $495. The radio and television packages may be purchased separately for
only $395 each. These professionally designed advertising materials would cost thousands of dollars if you had them created by any other ad agency in the country.

college news
Canadian Memorial
Chiropractic College
1900 Bayview Avenue
Toronto, Ontario M4G 3E6
President Renews 2-Year
Term
The Board of Governors of the
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic
College has announced renewai of
the contract of Dr. Ian D. Coulter
as President for a further two-year
term, commencing Aug. 1.
"As the college confronts the issues of the Health Professions Legislative Review, university affiliations and the status of the campus
site at 1900 Bayview Avenue, the
decision on the part of Dr. Coulter
to renew has significant implications for the future," said Dr. Ken
Smith, chairman of the board.
A sociologist with graduate degrees from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand (M.A.) and
the London School of Economics
and Political Science (Ph.D.), Dr.
Coulter has held the position of Executive Assistant to the Vice-Provost of Health Sciences, University
of Toronto, with a teaching appointment in the Division of Community Health, Faculty of Medicine; he continues to hold the
teaching post.
Dr. Coulter was co-investigator
of the $460,000 National Health Research Development Program 197679 study of Canadian chiropractors, which resulted in the 1981
book, Chiropractors: Do they help?
He is currently principle researcher of a $31,000 study investigating chiropractic versus medical treatment of non-idiopathic low
back pain launched by CMCC and
funded by the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research.

Sidus Corporation Donation
The Media Services Division of
the C.C. Clemmer Health Sciences
Library is publicly thanking Sidus
Corporation for its donation of
computer hardware equipment
with a value of $33,562.00.
Through personal contact with
Alex Muzar, part-owner of Sidus,
Margaret Butkovic, CMCC Audio
Visual Librarian, and her engineer
husband, Lou, were able to meet
the computer planning needs of
CMCC.
Margaret assured Muzar that the
College was not only a very needy
candidate, but that it was indeed
entertaining the possibility of buying this very equipment in the future.
"The downtown computer distributing company had a number
of non-profit organizations interested in receiving the equipment,"
said Mrs. Butkovic, "Mr. Muzar
was gracious enough to offer it to
us immediately."
There are only two other universities in Canada with similar
computer facilities. The price tag
for the entire package would have
taken CMCC five to six years to
raise otherwise.
The bulk of the donation involves a near complete workstation for the production of computer generated graphics. The
system has 2.64 megabytes of
memory with a full color monitor,
with the main input being a pen
oriented graphics tablet.
This computer system will be
used to create illustrations and
charts to be later outputted as 35
mm slides, transparencies and
upon normal looseleaf paper.
Eventually we hope to use the system as a character generator for
videotapes.
The second computer will be
used for computer assisted instructions. This will be available for stu-
dent use. The workstation consists
of a monitor, Hercules monographic card, Keyboard, 10 MB
Hard Drive and archive internal
tape backup. With the addition of
Network software and cables, the
tape backup unit can be used for
any part within the Library System.
Various types of software and
program guides, such as D-Base III,
are also included in the donation.
Report of the 1987 Runs
The nine Runs for Chiropractic
Education have netted $25,537.41
toward Public Clinics and Research
Projects carried out at CMCC. In
addition, CMCC students netted
$7,139.40 available for loans
through the Chiropractic Education Fund.
Toastmaster Club - A
Laboratory for Learning
CMCC is officially registered as
having a charter-strength Toastmasters Club. The 23 members of
the Canadian Chiropractic Club
have met regularly every second
week during the school term for
fun, fellowship, and an opportunity to engage in lively oral presentations.
Club President and 2nd year student, Ron Grypma, and CMCC
Alumni Affairs Committee Chairman and 8 year Toastmasters veteran, Dr. Doug Brown were instrumental in establishing the
College Club, sponsored by the
CMCC Student Administrative
Council (SAC).
CMCC students, faculty, staff,
and local chiropractors are encouraged to enlist as members once the
Club resumes meeting in September, 1988. For membership details

Dr. Cleveland Celebrates
Birthday in Regal Style
CCCLA President C.S. Cleveland [r., D.C., celebrated his 70th
birthday in royal fashion, by being
"knighted," March 26, at Medieval
Times Dinner Castle, in Buena
Park, CA.
Joining Sir Cleveland in this
spectacular evening of feasting, revelry, pageantry and fun, were over
60 Ambassador Society members
and their guests.
Seated at long wooden banquet
tables encircling the Grand Ceremonial Arena, the CCCLA entourage feasted on a lavish spread of
appetizers, fresh vegetable soup,
roasted chicken flambe, spare ribs,
herb-basted potato and pastries
served by court wenches.
As they dined, knights and
horses in colorful dressage paraded around the arena preparing
for battle.
Wearing crowns and waving
flags, the CCCLA spectators
cheered for the black and white
knight as he engaged in spine-tingling competition with four other
courageous warriors on horseback
and foot.
Using broadswords, axes, mace,
ball and chains, the Championship
knights fought till the bitter end
with the Red Knight claiming victory!
As the evening drew to a close,
the court sang happy birthday to
Dr. Cleveland, and birthday cake
was served, heralding this important event a special "knight" to remember!

ACA Journal of Chiropractic/June 1988
For Marie Oliva, Registrar at Los
Angeles College of Chiropractic,
pastries proved to be the answer
to the long-standing problem of
getting students to register on time.
On April 20, Oliva presented "Operation Donut" - one, of the top
ten registration ideas nationwide
- at the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers annual meeting in
Nashville, Tennessee.
Registration typically takes
weeks to complete, involving
countless reminders sent to students and a mass of paperwork for
the registrar's office. This time, over
half of the student body registered
by the end of the second day, and
87 percent by the end of the week.
Only one student of over 1,000 did
not register on time.
The new attitude is a direct result of "Operation Donut," created
by Oliva to help students cope with
a routine yet crucial process. "Registration falls between midterms
and finals," said Oliva, "during a
time when students are, under
pressure. Now they have a way to
let off steam and enjoy some
friendly rivalry. The process is
much more efficient and enjoyable
for everyone involved, and we are
able to verify students' enrollment
in a timely manner so that they can
qualify for their student loans."
Each student receives a donut
when registering, choosing from
about 25 dozen each day. Oliva also
presents free donuts to the entire
class that is first to have all members registered, then recognizes
them with a special plaque. Competition to claim the plaque has resulted in phone campaigns to contact unregistered classmates, pep
talks and happy lines queuing up
for donuts.
Although registering for classes
is a difficult process at many institutions, LACC students are enjoying the new trend. No longer typing letters to delinquent students,
employees in the Registrar's office
now spend a few days each term
with the aroma of freshly baked
donuts. Of course, the best donuts

go first. But staff members always
stock up on the favorite: chocolate

LACC Hosts Vladimir Janda
Vladimir Janda, M.D., from
Prague, Czechoslovakia, visited the
Los Angeles College of Chiropractic campus for a series of presentations and lectures May 9-15.
Janda, a leader in manual medicine in Europe, discussed temporomandibular joint syndrome, neck
and low back pain, and diagnosis
and treatment of headache. Daily
guest lectures were followed by a
weekend seminar and clinical
workshop.
The program was part of a continuing series sponsored by
LACe's Visiting Scholar Program,
a student supervised lecture forum
founded in 1985. Each trimester,
student advisors invite experts
from various health care fields, including manipulative therapy, os-
teopathy, physical rehabilitation
and medical research.

'Empress of Etiquette'
To Speak
The "Empress of Etiquette,"
Marjabelle Stewart, will speak to
spouses and guests at a luncheon
at Davenport's Outing Club the
Saturday of Homecoming, August
13.
Marjabelle, who lives in nearby
Kewanee, Illinois, is an international figure, with 11 published
books on her subject and many appearances on .national television.
Her celebrity ties are many. She
94
is the great-niece of William CulIen
Bryant, the legendary editor of the
New York Post, and the daughter
of a prominent Washington, D.C.,
photographer whose many connections launched his pretty, witty
daughter.
Her first marriage to Jack Davison Young, an international scientist, propelled her into Washington society. Mrs. William Randolph
Hearst, [r., became her mentor, and
they began to produce fashion
shows, when Marjabelle became
engrossed in protocol/etiquette.
She quickly emerged as a Washington, D.C., personality on the
social circuit and on television.
MarjabelIe also served frequently
as hostess for her godfather, the
Peruvian ambassador.
Between her marriages she dated
such notables as then Sen. John F.
Kennedy.
Her reputation as a fun-natured
etiquette expert caused publishers
to approach her on writing a book
on the subject. Another friend, Art
Buchwald, the columnist, learned
of this and suggested she collaborate with his wife, Ann. The two
wrote the successful "White Gloves
and Party Manners" and Marjabelle's writing/performing career
hasn't stopped since.

Student Delegation Headed
'Down Under'
Western -States is planning to
send six students to the 1988 World
Congress of Chiropractic Students
in Melbourne, Australia. The congress, not affiliated with any political or philosophical organization,
was formed nine years ago to promote unity and cooperation among
the 11,000 chiropractic students.
Delegate Bill Lauretti, a senior
who also attended last year's congress at Sherman College of
Straight Chiropractic, says meeting students from around the world
was the most rewarding experience he's had in his brief chiropractic career.
"It was fascinating to be exposed
to such a wide variety of views and
philosophies. Although I disagreed with many of the ideas I
heard, hearing them directly allowed me to better understand
them and dispel many misconceptions," Lauretti says.
Other representatives are Jeff
Fultz (head delegate), Leslie Clement, Signy Erickson, Christopher
. Quinn, and Judy Ritter.
The students are seeking funding for the October trip from
alumni, local chiropractic organizations, and fundraising projects.
Contributions, which are tax-deductible, may be mailed to ASB Offices, Western States Chiropractic
College, 2900NE 132nd Ave., Portland, OR 97230.

and national levels for its members. Using radio, television, and newspapers, ACA is helping the individual
practitioner tell the beneficial story of chiropractic health
care.
Education and Research - ACA's programs in these
fields are the only extensive projects of their kind. Financial support to accredited chiropractic colleges and
research projects are designed to fill the profession's

possible is being done to protect and promote chiropractic care among the nation's lawmakers. Legislative
experts are always on hand to guide favorable legislation and seek defeat of anti-chiropractlc laws.
Insurance Relations - ACA's insurance coordinator
works hand-in-hand with the leading health and accident insurance companies. More and more of them are
paying for chiropractic care thanks to pioneering work
by ACA's Insurance Relations Committee. This means
better health care for the nation, and additional income
for you.
Insurance Benefits - Through enrollment in ACA's
insurance plans, you can save more than your annual
membership costs. The top-notch protection afforded
by these policies is always available for less cost than

In the
Next Issue of the
ACA Journal
Next month, the ACA Journal takes a
look at new challenges facing the chiropractic graduate. We'll examine the
situation from both the perspective ot
1988 graduates of our chiropractic colleges, as well as from the viewpoint of
those Who have been in the field tor
some time. We'll also look at a development facing both new and seasoned
chiropractors - the increase in managed health care organizations in this
country. How can chiropractors best deal
with HMOs, PPOs and other such organizations? Will current trends help or
hinder the chiropractic protession? Another issue that chiropractors are facing
is advertising. We'll also examine how
chiropractors can prepare themselves
to justify their treatment if called on to
do so in the legal arena.
