At the request of a Subcommittee of the United States Senate, in
February, 1975, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (now the National Institute of Neurological and Communi
cative Disorders and Stroke) conducted a Workshop on the Research
Status of Spinal Manipulative Therapy. The Workshop was held in
response to the Senate Subcommittee's request for an "independent
unbiased study of the fundamentals of the chiropractic profession.
" Since spinal manipulative therapy is a key tenet of chiropractic,
the Institute felt a research workshop focused on that issue would
provide a useful base upon which to examine the broad concept of
the role of biomechanical alterations of the spine in health and
disease. This would include the pathophysiologic and clinical
hypotheses formulated by medical and osteopathic physicians as w~ll
as chiropractors. Why the relatively sudden interest of the Senate
Subcommittee in chiropractic? There were probably many reasons for
that interest, but suffice to say anticipation of discussion on the
role of chiro practic in any national system of health insurance
could in itself have provided adequate stimulus for the request. In
any case, the NINCDS was asked to review what was and what was not
known about the fundamentals of chiropractic. I stress
"fundamentals" since as a research organization, the NINCDS is not
charged with review ing matters such as clinical education,
licensure or clinical prac tice. A small expert committee of
scientific consultants helped the Institute design the format and
agenda for the Workshop.
