Answer
Jason:

Chiropractors have many different ways to perform manipulation while physical therapists tend to use the same method but if they are using comparable techniques there is no difference.

It was originally believed that manipulation was useful for restoring motion to the spine in restricted areas, however we now know that this doesn't happen.  So the only legitimate use of manipulation is to relieve acute low back pain and vertigo originating from the neck.
