Use of the winged angel with raised hands as a chiropractic emblem began circa 1928. Although often attributed to the National Chiropractic Association (NCA), the emblem was created prior to the NCA's formation, and was initially "copyrighted ... for the exclusive use of members of the American Society of Chiropractors." The emblem appeared as part of the ASC's advertising in popular national magazines, including American Legion Monthly, Cosmopolitan, Liberty, and Physical Culture. First use of the chiropractic angel to represent the NCA and its ally, the Internatonal Chiropractic Congress (ICC), took place at the NCA and ICC joint national convention in Denver in 1933. The emblem was formally adopted by the NCA at its 1934 convention in Pittsburgh. This paper reviews some of the early history of the emblem and its use by the ASC and the NCA.
大约在1928年开始使用举起双手的有翼天使作为脊椎按摩疗法的标志。尽管这个标志常被认为是由国家脊椎按摩疗法协会（NCA）使用，但它是在NCA成立之前就已被创造出来，并且最初“受版权保护……仅供美国脊椎按摩疗法师协会的成员专用”。这个标志出现在美国脊椎按摩疗法师协会在全国流行杂志上的广告中，包括《美国军团月刊》《时尚》《自由》和《体育文化》。1933年，脊椎按摩疗法天使首次被用来代表NCA及其盟友国际脊椎按摩疗法大会（ICC），这一使用发生在丹佛举行的NCA和ICC联合全国大会上。1934年，该标志在匹兹堡举行的NCA大会上被正式采用。本文回顾了该标志的一些早期历史以及美国脊椎按摩疗法师协会和国家脊椎按摩疗法协会对它的使用情况。
