ASRF Research To Reality Project

In this, our 47th year, we have decided to do a ‘retrospective’ project that will look at around 70 major pieces of research funded by the ASRF since 1998, complete with findings and links to other relevant research.

For each piece of research, we will be publishing three levels of learnings in a tri-level document, exploring:

  • what this contributed to research (ie. scientific knowledge of chiropractic and the chiropractic adjustment).
  • what this means for practitioners in their practices.
  • what this means for the layman who may engage the services of a chiropractor.

These are learnings that you can lean on in practice and share with your tribe! You will have quotes and references ready for social media, posters and more, and easy to access papers that provide citations for the findings and research.
