Greetings, chuckbronder!

My document delivery service of choice for medical journal articles is
Infotrieve. You can have articles sent to you by fax, e-mail, or snail
mail, and you don't have to be in the medical profession or have
access to a medical library to receive them. (If you will be searching
for medical articles on a frequent basis, you might want to bookmark
this site, if you have not done so already):
http://www.infotrieve.com 
  
You will need to go through free registration to order articles. 
http://www4.infotrieve.com/users/createaccount.asp  
(you will need to have Cookies enabled to do this)  
  
Normally, you can click on "Article Finder" in the menu on the
left-hand side (for best results, be sure select a "begin" year going
back as far as you wish -- the default is 1998, the last 5 years --
and select "100" results per page):
http://www4.infotrieve.com/search/databases/newsearch.asp   
OR 
You can click on the "Advanced Search" button on the top of the page:
http://www.infotrieve.com/search 

**HOWEVER**

It looks as though the article you need can only be purchased by
hardcopy, and is not downloadable electronically via the Internet. I
checked to see if the journal you want is covered by the Infotrieve
service by clicking on the "DocSource" button on the left-hand menu.
That brings you to this page, where you can search for Journals by
name:
http://www.infotrieve.com/search/docsource.asp
  
I performed this search, and it brought up two possible titles,
although I suspect that the first one is the one you seek:

JOURNAL OF MANUAL MEDICINE. [ISSN: 0935-6339] 
Pub: Springer-Verlag Germany (GW)
https://www4.infotrieve.com/neworders/Order_Manual.asp?JournalBook=JOURNAL+OF+MANUAL+MEDICINE%2E&ISSN=0935%2D6339&Source=docsource

If you click on this link above, you will get an order page where you
fill in your purchase and delivery information and the article that
you want, and they will provide it to you as you specify.

If you click on "Prices and Services" on the left-hand menu, you get
the Pricing page, which is here:
http://www.infotrieve.com/prodserv.asp

"Cost per Article 

U.S., Canada, and Mexico
$12.00 Service Fee + Copyright Royalty + Delivery* 

International
$14.00 Service Fee + Copyright Royalty + Delivery*

* There is no delivery charge for first class mail"

Rush Delivery costs extra, and the prices for that are listed as well.


The other possibility for the article you seek is this:

MANUAL MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF FIMM, INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION
FOR MANUAL MEDICINE. [ISSN: 0254-9522]
Pub: Springer-Verlag Germany (GW) 
https://www4.infotrieve.com/neworders/Order_Manual.asp?JournalBook=MANUAL+MEDICINE+%3A+OFFICIAL+JOURNAL+OF+FIMM%2C+INTERNATIONAL+FEDERATION+FOR+MANUAL+MEDICINE%2E&ISSN=0254%2D9522&Source=docsource

Hi, chuckbronder! 

Researchers always strive to provide the best, well-researched Answers
for Customers. Once in awhile, however, it is possible that we may
miss the mark. If Commenter jonmm-ga provides the said link to your
article, available for free on-line, I will certainly withdraw my
Answer.

Thanks,

ace

Hi jonmm-ga,

Would you kindly suggest the site that you mentioned to me earlier.
Specifically a free site for the research matter that I seek, as
opposed to a pay $$$ site as proposed by ace?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi, Chuck.

As no links have been posted in the last 3 days, I regret that it
appears that you have been the subject of a mean prank. Just as in the
Real World, on occasion someone comes along here who seems to post,
for some unfathomable reason, things that might be considered nasty or
offensive just for the sheer pleasure of doing so. This is **really**
not nice, and I and other Researchers are very sorry that this
happened on your Question.

I have searched the web some more, and I honestly do not believe that
this article is available for free. This is more and more the case
with all kinds of information, as authors and companies have come to
realize that people are willing to pay for such information.

I have, however, determined that the citation you were given is not
completely correct as to issue, volume, and year. It looks like this
is the correct citation:

"Janda V. Treatment of chronic back pain. J Manual Medicine 1992;
6:166-8"
http://www.neuromechanical.com/page1021320477.mv

"Janda, Vladimir   Treatment of Chronic Back Pain
J Man Med 1992;   6:   166-168"
http://www.chiro.org/LINKS/ABSTRACTS/Janda.shtml

I hope that this additional information will assist you in obtaining
exactly the article you need.

Best wishes,

aceresearcher
