Joe:

TENS (Transdermal electro-neural stimulation) therapy works by getting muscles to loosen up so the structure under them can get back to normal. It is effective in a significant per centage of cases. I do not have the numbers, but I know there have been case studies in chiropractic literature. It has been around for decades.

There is nothing about chiropractic that disses normal medical practice; but any doctor knows there is a large boundaery layer where medical approaches of the traditional sort are only marginally useful. In past decades, for example, there hacve been far too many instances of disk surgery resulting from a belief that chiropractic was invalid; whereas those who took the same symptoms to a chiroparactor for a second opinion actually had them remedied.

WHile you are correct that it is reckless to dismiss workable medical therapies without sufficient grounds, I submit it is equally reckless to accept the authority of medical practice when their remedies or conclusions are ungrounded in evidence and even contrary to evidence.
