See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The proportion of chiropractic spinal manipulation judged to be congruent with appropriateness criteria is similar to proportions previously described for medical procedures;thus,the findings provide some reassurance about the appropriate application of chiropractic care. However,more than one quarter of patients were treated for indications that were judged inappropriate.The number of inappropriate decisions to use chiropractic spinal manipulation should be decreased.
