While some chiropractors claim to treat a multitude of conditions, the fact is, chiropractic manual therapy has been shown to be effective primarily for low back pain, neck pain and headaches. Other forms of physical medicine, which some chiropractors provide, can be quite effective for treating herniated discs (see Averting Disc Surgery).
This is supported by scientific evidence. Although science supports good outcomes with chiropractic and other forms of physical medicine procedures for back & neck pain; a specific diagnosis remains an enigma in most cases (85% of the time), even with 21st century technology. More contemporary assessment procedures are still evolving and improving outcomes.

McKenzie
Report
The McKenzie Method is likely the the most valid and reliable method of assessing, diagnosing and effectively treating neck & back pain to date. The information below is a short synopsis of some of the data that supports this remarkably effective method.
Ideally, researchers emphasize the need to identify and validate low back pain subgroups by means of anatomical tissue responsible for the pain: intervertebral disc, facet joint, sacroiliac joint, muscle or ligament, etc.This is a real problem, and currently an insurmountable one, because there is no "gold standard" test at this time.
