Chiropractic concepts are reviewed as they relate to symmetry as a reflection of musculoskeletal health. Patterns of musculoskeletal distortion and asymmetry are reviewed as indicators to the application of chiropractic manipulative therapies.

The first constitution of the Australian Chiropractors' Association is examined, contemporary facts and events are noted, and the formation of Branches of the ACA traced. Some conclusions are drawn.
