A Danish study is discussed in LLL's The Breastfeeding Answer Book on page 39:

"Research from Denmark, where chiropractic has been used since the turn of the century to treat infant colic, indicates that chiropractic adjustment may help reduce or eliminate colic in some babies (Nilsson 1985). One study of 316 babies with colic found that within 14 days and three chiropractic adjustments, 94% of mothers reported that the colic had improved or that the colic was gone (Klougart 1989). The researchers estimate that between 20-40% of all Danish infants with colic are treated by chiropractors."

Also, here's one more "study" on chiropractic on "colicky" babies:

Not exaclty what you were looking for, but evidence that chiropractic is one method of treatment for infants.
