I think it's a really tough question. the post above indicates a good outcome. Good outcomes are documented well enough that some major insurers cover chirop's. years ago I temped in a Phys Medicine and Rehab (acute inpatient) hospital, and these 3 serious MDs made chirop referrals.

But, I also had two friends go to chirop school, and they came out talking about curing asthmas with neck manipulations and all sorts of world view ideology. I think the field varies a lot state to state and practitioner to practitioner. But the bread and butter in the field seems to be basically a cracking knuckles sort of effect that they refuse "on principle" (ie, self-delusion) to subject to empirical testing or measurement for results.
