My question to folks on this Forum, has anyone ever tried one of these programs? They tout 90% success rate, in a least lessening symptoms, if not reversing the nerve damage, but my gut tells me they are taking advantage of desperate folks.
Chiropractic neurology appears to me to be the very definition of pseudoscience – it has all the trappings of a legitimate profession, with a complex set of beliefs and practices, but there is no underlying scientific basis for any of it.
