The use of major and minor therapy forms in Australian chiropractic practice

Leboeuf C, Patrick KJournal of the Australian Chiropractic Association1987;17:109-11

A survey of Australian chiropractors showed that most use five major chiropractic techniques (Diversified, Sacro-Occipital technique, Gonstead, Nimmo and Applied Kinesiology). High velocity adjustive techniques (Diversified and Gonstead) were the most commonly reported major core techniques. Predominantly low velocity manual techniques such as Applied Kinesiology, Sacro-Occipital technique and Nimmo were most commonly reported as minor core techniques. Most employ adjunctive therapies, mainly nutrition, extremity techniques and exercise.
