The Rand Study project conducted by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit private corporation in Santa Monica, California which conducts research and development for the US Government and the private sector, commands international respect. The project was directed by two medical doctors, Robert Brook, MD, and Paul Shekelle, MD, and involved two expert panels of clinicians and researchers to assess the clinical consensus on the appropriateness of spinal manipulation for more than 1600 patients with back pain conditions.  ("The appropriateness of manipulation and mobilization of the cervical spine." Coulter, I., et al., Santa Monica, California: RAND, 1996.) The British Medical Research Council conducted a 10 year, multi-center trial comparing chiropractic and hospital outpatient management of 741 patients with acute and chronic mechanical low back pain. Results of this study were reported in the June 2, 1990, issue of The British Medical Journal. In 1972, in the State of California, Richard Wolf, MD, questioned 1000 patients about work time loss and residual pain, and 629 patients responded, of which half were medically treated and the other half were treated by chiropractic.
