President’s Report
In last year’s report I made
mention of the Institute of
Alternative Future’s (IAF)
report “Chiropractic 2025.
Divergent Futures”. The IAF
is a United States based,
internationally
renowned
group of futurists that work
with
leading
companies
and other groups “aiding
organisations
to
more
wisely choose and create
their preferred futures”.
The report is both a
comprehensive analysis of
the chiropractic profession’s
current situation in the
United States as well as a considered analysis of four possible scenarios
for the profession in 2025. The IAF also make 22 recommendations to
the profession to move towards two possible “preferred futures”. While
I highly recommend that all chiropractors read the whole report (it’s
available free on the IAF website), the main message is simple – 11 of
the 22 recommendations relate to the need for more research, faster!
ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014
research. These changes will continue to contribute to the activities of
the Foundation for years to come. Thank you Ray!
The years to come will see many challenges for chiropractic. Thank you
for your ongoing support that has allowed, and will continue to allow us
to generate research to move us towards our preferred future!
Dr Martin Harvey
President
The IAF recognise that there are many areas in which chiropractic
needs to be influential to move ahead. We need to generate positive
PR, we need to influence government to legislatively create a level
playing field, we need to influence third party payers as well as many
other points of influence. What the IAF is telling us is that there is one
thing in common with all of these areas – in each of them research is
the currency of influence! If we want to move chiropractic toward a
preferred future, investing in research is the most important strategy.
With this in mind as I reflect on the last year I am extremely proud of
a project that the Spinal Research Foundation has undertaken in the
last year. Over the years we have focussed a lot on the inputs that the
Foundation has been able to generate – the individual projects we have
funded and facilitated and the more than $2 million that we have been
able to invest in research. In this last year we have put in place a more
rigorous process to track outputs. Members and supporters can go to
the Spinal Research website and under the Research ---> Grants funded
tab (1) see a rundown of the outputs of grants funded. Reading this
shows a tremendous amount of “currency” has been generated to move
chiropractic ahead. There are publications in many prestigious journals
including JMPT, Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, Journal
of Applied Physiology, Chiropractic Journal of Australia, Chiropractic
and Osteopathy, Spine, Trials, The Spine Journal, The Journal of
Chiropractic Education and Experimental Brain Research. In reading
this it also needs to be remembered that there is more to come – 12
projects are currently in progress and others still have publications
pending!
I am extremely proud that this has been achieved while the Foundation
has continued to employ a fiscally responsible and sustainable approach
of investing funds in research based on the investment return. This
means that when you, our supporters, have donated a dollar to the
Foundation, that the dollar is still working to generate research and
positive influence for chiropractic.
None of this would be possible without the dedicated work of many
people. I am honoured to work with a phenomenal board, a CEO,
Roley Cook and a Foundation staff who all contribute to the work of
the Foundation well beyond their roles. One contributor who I would
like to highlight this year is Professor Ray Hayek. Ray has been a board
member for 9 years and Chaired the Foundation’s Research committee
for 8 years. During this time he contributed across a number of areas
of Foundation activity. His contribution to profoundly upgrading the
process by which the Foundation assesses research applications and
the depth of expertise he was instrumental in bringing to the Research
Committee through his contacts in the broader research world is one
that has had a significant impact on the Foundation’s core business,

Highlights
Over the past year the Foundation has contributed to increased
chiropractic and research knowledge by hosting
• 2 ‘Evidence Informed Paediatric Chiropractic’ seminars
featuring Dr Joel Alcantara
...‘I would also like to thank those
lovely souls at the Australian Spinal
Research Foundation, its current
and past presidents, and everyone
that donates to them. Without their
support I would not be in the position I
am now, nor would I have completed so
many studies.’
• 5 Jumpstart events for early career chiropractors and
chiropractic students

The Chiropractic Research Partnership continues to provide
more research, faster. Dr Brett Foote joined to the Partnership
at its launch and his contribution has funded a study by Susan
Snodgrass BSc(PhysTher), ATC, MMedSc(Physio), PhD at The
University of Newcastle titled “Neck Pain Biomarkers and
Chiropractic Outcomes.”

The Douglas O. Winter Bursary,
managed by Spinal Research, has
been the recipient of a recent
contribution in excess of
$200,000, through the estate of
the late Joan Dickson, a grateful
patient of Dr Winter. It came
to be because Dr Winter was
willing to communicate to his
patient about the importance of
chiropractic research. The bursary
will be managed as an endowment
providing funding from the interest derived
from the investment of the bequest. The annual interest will
provide support to a student who meets certain qualifying
criteria or a graduate who is continuing their studies to a higher
degree, aligned to chiropractic research.

The Board of Spinal Research was pleased to allocate grant
funding to Dr Samantha Harden to allow her to pursue her PhD.
Dr Harden’s study is titled Muscle thixotropy, subluxation and
clumsiness. Dr Harden will be working under the supervision of
Assoc Prof Barbara Polus. Dr Polus has previously supervised PhD
students Drs Nobuhiro Watanabe BAppSc, BCSc, PhD, Hiroshi
Sasaki B.App. Sc (chiro). PhD, Karen Lucas - Bachelor of Applied
Science (Human Movement) Honours, Advanced Diploma in
Myotherapy; PhD. each who have worked on studies funded under
grants through Spinal Research.
Business Continuity Plan
We are grateful and excited to have the World Congress of
Chiropractic Students (WCCS) join the Chiropractic Research
Partnership. The WCCS represent student leaders from all
around the world and is the largest chiropractic student
association. Spinal Research respects the passion and dedication
these students have for the advancement of the profession, and
are most grateful to have their support.
Business continuity and risk
assessment are essential business
practices. The Foundation’s
Board has endorsed a Business
Continuity Plan that covers issues
such as IT failure, theft and
natural disasters. This plan also considers emergency planning
and recovery plans.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014
Evidence Informed Paediatric
Chiropractic
with Dr Joel Alcantara
The Foundation continued to deliver
on that part of it’s mission that
relates to disseminating knowledge
to further the understanding,
development and effectiveness
of chiropractic care by hosting Dr
Joel Alcantara to deliver “Evidence
Informed Paediatric Chiropractic” Dr Alcantara has published
numerous papers and is Research Director of the International
Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Chair of Pediatric
Research Life Chiropractic College West and Master of Public
Health candidate, San Jose State University.
In 2013 the Foundation conducted a
review of the grant program processes and
documentation. As a result a number of
changes have been implemented.
The Foundation now offers two major
categories of research funding. These are
intended to both encourage and support new
researchers and novel ideas as well as support larger projects
with a more developed evidence base and researcher track
record.
1 Small Research Grants are intended to provide limited support
for quality research projects relevant to the clinical practice
and scientific basis of chiropractic. This includes clinical and
practice-based studies, basic scientific research and health
care management. Such projects could be pilot studies or preliminary research upon which larger a research project could
be developed. Funding of up to $20,000 per year is available
for between one and two years.
2 Large Research Grants are intended to support larger research
projects relevant to the clinical practice and scientific
basis of chiropractic. As for SRGs this includes clinical and
practice-based studies, basic scientific research and health
care management. LRGs will provide maximum funding of
$120,000, usually up to $40,000 per year for a maximum of
three years.
The Foundation’s Chief Executive
Officer, Mr Roley Cook has had
his leadership and professional
competencies recognised by admission
as a Member of the Australian Institute
of Company Directors (MAICD). Mr Cook
is also a Fellow of the International
Institute of Directors and Managers.
EOIs and Grants
Our annual grant program is one way we fulfil our mission to
facilitate research. In 2014, 14 expressions of interest were
received and from this group, 11 researchers were asked to
submit full applications. These applications are currently in the
process of being assessed for funding.
From the 2013 grant round the following studies were granted
funds:
• Neck pain biomarkers & chiropractic outcomes
Chief Investor: Dr Suzanne Snodgrass
• Chiropractic, Sensorimotor Integration and Function
Chief Investor: Professor Bernadette Murphy
Dr Martin Harvey has made
a number of presentations
over the last 12 months
to grow increased
international awareness
of the Foundation. The
highlights include the
Currency of Influence
presentation in California
and also the Edinburgh
lectures.
Public Spinal
Screenings
2014 saw the Foundation
re-launch
its
Public
Spinal
Screening
(PSS)
campaign. The Foundation
has renewed its Spinal
Screenings literature with
a new ‘How-to’ guide. The
updated PSS material we
provide includes exciting
information on the new
mobile and tablet Apps
which can make performing
Spinal
Screenings
even
easier, hopefully leading to
the benefits of chiropractic
being available to more
people in our communities
and more research, faster.

Highlights (continued)
Jumpstart Events
Over the past 12 months we have held a number of successful
workshops and events for emerging chiropractors. The
Jumpstart Team would like to extend their gratitude to the
many chiropractors that have donated their time to speak and
present at these events. Their mentorship and desire to share
experience and wisdom is contributing greatly to the professional
growth of students and new graduates throughout Australasia.
As part of its continued growth, Dynamic Growth Congress moved
to Melbourne for 2014. Delegates were presented an inspiring,
educational and entertaining weekend of top speakers at what is
the largest annual chiropractic event in Australasia.
A new segment to DG was added, a concentrated 6 hour ‘Science
and Research Stream’ which was this year presented by Dr Heidi
Haavik. It was a huge success, with delegates literally filling
every last bit of space in the plenary.
We are pleased to confirm that, due to awesomely positive
feedback, both the Melbourne location and the Science Stream
are here to stay for DG15.
Fundraising
We salute those community fundraisers who continue to walk,
run, bike and swim their way to raising funds for Spinal Research.
We now have a dedicated fundraising section on the Spinal
Research website with information on how you can help raise
funds for Spinal Research including links to your events.
Thank you once again to the RMIT chiropractic
students who kicked goals for the second year
running with the annual Health Care Cup, a
football match between RMIT chiropractic
students and physiotherapy students from
Latrobe University. With over 200 spectators,
the event raised an incredible excess of $4000
for chiropractic research and greater community
awareness for chiropractic, with all proceeds
coming from students in both disciplines as well as their friends,
families and mentors.
Research
Information documenting the
progress of research which
has been facilitated by Spinal
Research is available on the
Foundation’s website. These
downloadable fact sheets
include updates on current
research, outcomes from
past projects and how this
is translated to the wider
scientific community, the
health sector and practising
chiropractors.
Dynamic Growth Experience’s (DGE) were held throughout the
year in New Zealand, Western Australia, Brisbane, Victoria, New
South Wales, North Queensland and South Australia. The theme
for 2013 was “RAW” which focused on the RAW elements of
chiropractic – encouraging the chiropractic community to get
back to basics and focus on their skills, their team, their personal
goals and everything in between.
Close to 1000 chiropractors, chiropractic assistants’ and
chiropractic students immersed themselves in the RAW elements
of chiropractic at DGE and benefited from the many outstanding
presentations and networking with their local peers. This year
particular attention was made to making the DGEs more cost
effective in raising funds for Spinal Research. This will continue
to be a focus for the next few years.
A special appreciation goes out to our valued DGE convenors who
happily take the portfolio and work tirelessly to make their local
DGE a success. We also appreciate those who support them, the
many volunteers who help bring together these highly regarded
events...AND THEY DO IT COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY!”
Research Committee Chair Report
I would like to begin this
report by thanking the
entire team at Spinal
Research
headquarters.
Without the tireless work
of Roley and his team the
output of the Foundation
would
be
extremely
diminished.
Secondly I would like to
acknowledge the Clinical
Advisory Panel and the
Research
Committee
(individual names listed
next page) for the time they
so generously donate. The
CAP and RC are absolutely pivotal to the grant application process.
The Australian Spinal Research Foundation each year invites
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for grants to support research
initiatives. The Foundation has established research priorities to
support its vision to contribute and resource research that expands
our knowledge base in health care delivery for the wellbeing of our
community. One of the strengths of the research foundation is its
grant application process.
Earlier this year the Spinal Research board updated its “Research
Culture Statement” to the following:
The chiropractic paradigm
hypothesises that chiropractic care
facilitates a greater level of health,
enhanced quality of life and human
performance.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014
The 2013 grant round gives the chiropractic profession much to be
excited about. The foundation received more than 22 expressions of
interest from all corners of the globe.
The high quality and large number of EOIs again raises the issue of
funding. It is quite possible that many high quality projects will
not be funded this year because of budgetary limitations. This is a
further reminder for the Foundation and the chiropractic profession
as the key stakeholder of the importance of continuing to support
chiropractic research.
Along with its rapidly growing global reach the Foundation has
needed to once again update its processes to continue be in line
with best practices. In the spirit of “more research, faster” the
greatest challenge is continuing to remain in constant contact with
our researchers. The Foundation is continuing to explore avenues
where we can support the researchers in their drive to completion
whilst at the same time meeting the needs of our stakeholders.
Here in Australia we have seen a continual growth in the questioning
of the validity of chiropractic care. The Friends of Science Movement
continues to gain voice in the media. Common to all attacks are
questions around the evidence base behind chiropractic practice.
Whilst I am reminded of the saying “for the believer no evidence is
necessary and for the skeptic none is possible” I think it is prudent
that the Foundation continues to ramp up its efforts of producing
more research, faster. Research will continue to be the critical
tool that will open doors with government groups and healthcare
influencers ultimately allowing the chiropractic profession to greater
assist the community.

All applicants are required to submit an initial Expression of Interest
(EOI). The EOI provides concise information regarding the intent of
the proposed research project, the clinical and/or scientific basis of
the intended research and an indicative budget. Full submissions
build on information provided in the EOI but provide more extensive
details, particularly concerning the proposed methodology and the
intended outcomes of the research project.
Both EOIs and full grant applications will be subjected to the same
merit-based review process. Scientific and clinical evaluation will
be based on project merit and validity, likelihood of completion and
delivery of intended outcomes and value for money. Both EOIs and
full applications will initially be reviewed for clinical relevance and
merit by the Clinical Review Panel prior to being assessed by the
Research Committee for overall scientific merit. Full applications will,
in addition, be subjected to independent external peer assessment
prior to their rating and ranking by the Foundation’s Clinical Review
Panel and Research Committee.
Clinical Advisory Panel
Research Committee
The Foundation’s Clinical Advisory Panel (CAP) is one of the most
critical aspects of our research process because it is what keeps our
research relevant and focused on the chiropractic paradigm.
The Research Committee covers the spectrum of health, chiropractic
specific and medical research, including public health research
initiatives. The committee will recommend to the Board of Governors
the awarding of grants on the basis of scientific quality and as judged
by peer-review. The committee may provide research support
through a variety of mechanisms and where it deems involvement to
be essential for that project to achieve its objectives.
The panel is part of our process that creates the intersection of
philosophy with science. The job of the CAP members is to review
grant applications and assess them for their relevance to our
priorities and make suggestions as to how they would be more
relevant to chiropractic and practicing chiropractors.

Investing in
the Future of
Chiropractic
Our long-term vision is of
empowering people to have
healthier,
happier
lives
through chiropractic.
The Foundation is keen to
achieve immediate results
but must invest in the longterm strength and position
of
chiropractic.
That’s
why our core business and
activities are oriented with
a long vision - knowing that we won’t accomplish that in this year, or
the next, or maybe not even in the next decade. And, it’s reflected
in our mission:
Here is a summary of our financial results for the year under review.
The full financial statements can be found at:
www.spinalresearch.com.au/2013-14financials.pdf
Revenue declined from $1.697m to $1.491m reflecting less event
activity conducted across the year. Coinciding with the decline in
revenue the expenses related to events also declined from $624,853
in the previous year to $288,164 in the year under review.
Operating profit excluding grant payments rose to $207,592 compared
to operating profit excluding grant payments in the previous year of
$149,402.
Donations accounted for 15.3% of total revenue and membership
fees contributed 12.9%. The remaining 71.8% of revenue was earned
through multiple fundraising activities, seminar fees and investments.

It’s a 2 part mission: 1. to increase the amount of relevant
research that’s around, and 2. to heighten the competence of you,
the chiropractor, by advancing your application of the relevant
information.
The right research will vastly advance our profession in numerous
ways. It will validate the profession’s focus on the location, analysis
and adjustment of the vertebral subluxation - validating what
we do and validating what we say we can achieve. It will position
chiropractic as a vitalistic, scientific, evidence‐informed clinical
practice. It will allow us to gain a higher degree of respect,
understanding and acceptance in the healthcare marketplace, in the
scientific community and amongst the people we serve. And, the
right research will strengthen how much our people value our care,
how much they value us, as well as how much we value ourselves.
The right research will also heighten how much the public and other
professions value us and our ability to reliably, validly show that
chiropractic care (what we do) gets results – that it elicits valuable
outcomes for people.
That’s where we’re investing your funds. Because now, more than
ever, it’s time to show how much people benefit. And, it’s not just
about investing money in to creating more research, but also in to
up-skilling chiropractors, so that we advance the profession in its
competency.
What we know is that to have major advancement in the field
of vertebral subluxation research, we need to have focussed
organization, we need to have governance in the research
infrastructure and we need to have ample funding. Through the
Foundation, we do have the great organisation; and we have brilliant
research infrastructure. But we are grossly underfunded for the
outcomes we’d love to achieve.

This cannot be achieved overnight; both steps take time. But with
the right strategy, applied consistently over time, we know we can
get there. And the need to achieve our vision is very real.
What we want is to be better at helping people through
chiropractic. Because we do believe that people’s lives are better
with chiropractic. We believe that the subluxation is detrimental
to people’s health and that it is prevalent in the people in our
communities. And we believe that adjusting people will improve
their health. Would it be useful to have major advancement in
researching and understanding these areas?

The Foundation operates an endowment grant funding model
based on the principle of retaining donated capital and using the
investment earnings from that capital to make grants. Donations this
year were $227,889. The residual benefit of past donations added
to those received this year along with improved investment returns
on total invested capital allowed the foundation to issue $112,114
in research grants compared to $52,029 the previous year. The
Foundation has a forward obligation to pay approved grants totalling
$119,308 which have not yet been fully drawn down.
The net profit for the year, after payment of grants, was $95,478. As
a result of this profit members’ equity grew to $1,512,437 compared
to $1,416,959 in the previous year and this profit adds to the
investment base for future research funding.
In closing this report I say Thank you to the board and the fantastic
staff at head office, for their great contribution to further our cause.
And thank you to our CEO Roley Cook, for his tireless effort and great
expertise in seeing chiropractic flourish.
To all of those that have helped us in moving towards strengthening
the chiropractic profession, either as a member, or through the
Chiropractic Research Partnership or as a donor, thank you. Thank
you for helping us make the progress towards our long-term vision
of empowering people to have healthier, happier lives through
chiropractic.
