A review of the major chiropractic, osteopathic and medical nomenclatures for describing anatomical distortions of the spine is presented. A survey of the institutions demonstrates 10 separate nomenclatures currently being employed by the three professions to describe similar anatomical distortions of the spine. This wide variety of nomenclature can only be seen as creating barriers to communication both inter- and intraprofessionally. Because there are two differing conceptual principles for the definition of an anatomical distortion of the spine, an argument is presented for the adoption of two universal nomenclatures.
本文对用于描述脊柱解剖结构畸变的主要脊椎按摩疗法、整骨疗法和医学术语进行了综述。对各机构的调查表明，目前这三个专业使用10种不同的术语来描述脊柱类似的解剖结构畸变。如此繁多的术语只会被视为在专业间和专业内造成沟通障碍。由于脊柱解剖结构畸变的定义存在两种不同的概念原则，本文提出采用两种通用术语的观点。
