Abstract/Notes Objective: To review and document the Kjellberg lumbar technique, developed in Australia for the manipulation of the lumbar spine.

Methods: In the absence of extensive literature regarding this technique, the information presented in this paper is derived principally from discussion with, and observation of, a small group of the remaining second generation Kjellberg practitioners. Data was also drawn from published peer-reviewed literature 1970-2007 located from searches of PubMED, CINHAL, MEDLINE and ICL electronic databases and other relevant texts.

Discussion: The Kjellberg lumbar technique is unique compared to the majority of manipulative techniques previously researched and commonly practiced. The details of the adjustments are discussed and the biomechanical mechanisms which may underlie their purported effectiveness are proposed and examined.

Conclusion: Steps must be taken towards the preservation of this unique Australian technique before it is lost to history. This initial review and documentation of the technique should stimulate further research into the Kjellberg system of manipulation which will work to preserve this technique and further the chiropractic knowledge base.
