The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) celebrated the 25th year of the Congress by holding its 12th Biennial Congress in Durban, South Africa, on April 10 through 13, 2013. The WFC call for abstracts resulted in 173 submissions from 14 countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States). From these abstracts, 32 platform and 85 posters were selected for presentation. All authors were asked permission to have their abstract reproduced in the proceedings published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. Of the authors who agreed and who attended the Congress, their abstracts are published here. These are abstracts only and do not represent completed research papers. The authors have been encouraged to complete their research publications as full papers and submit to the indexed, peer-reviewed journal of their choice.
