ChiroSH Online
ChiroSH (Chiropractic Subject Headings) is a controlled vocabulary created by members of the Chiropractic Library Collaboration, an organization affiliated with the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. ChiroSH is used by the Index to Chiropractic Literature’s indexers, and by catalogers in health sciences libraries. This online version (under development) is an innovation we hope will be widely used by students, chiropractors and researchers. The first edition of ChiroSH was released in 1984 and the seventh edition is currently in production.

Harmonic technique (HT) is an active soft tissue technique used to treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Harmonic technique focuses on rhythmic and oscillatory movements to improve physiological function of damaged tissues. Rhythmic movements trigger healing by improving fluid flow, tissue nutrition, and repair. Recent studies have shown that active rhythmic motion has a substantial beneficial effect on proprioceptive stimulation and pain relief compared with passive rhythmic motion.
