In recent years, numerous scientific studies have been conducted throughout the world to determine and record specifically the effectiveness of chiropractic care - among them research by non-chiropractic professionals to provide more objectivity. Following is a synopsis giving some of the findings from the Manga Report.

The Manga Report, commissioned by the Ministry of Health in Ontario, Canada and carried out by leading, independent health economists at the University of Ottawa and headed by Pran Manga, PhD, reviewed all of the international evidence on the management of low-back pain. It concluded:

There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low-back pain was transferred from physicians to chiropractors.

There should be a "shift in policy to encourage and prefer chiropractic services for most patients with low-back pain," and chiropractic should be "fully insured (and) fully integrated" into the Ontario health-care system.

"The overwhelming body of evidence: shows that chiropractic management of low-back pain is more cost-effective than medical management, and that "many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate…" it also stated, "Chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical management of low-back pain."

"Chiropractic management is greatly superior to medical management in terms of scientific validity, safety, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction."
