In case you were wondering about who does some of the studies and reviews....and with a HonCode as well

In regards to manipulation therapy for lower back pain:

Note it's findings..."it was no more or less effective than medication for pain, physical therapy, exercises, back school or the care given by a general practitioner."
 
I have found out that the Province of Ontario in 2005 had withdrawn public funding for chiropractic treatment. Trying to find out if it still so.
In any case this info still needs to be made public on a continual basis and more controls established
