I don’t mean to be rude, but honestly this astounds me. You thought electrical stimulation of muscle tissue was “voodoo”? [/quote]
I can see it. Clinical evidence is certainly mixed when compared against placebo.
I might not have called it “voodoo,” but then, I’ve called chiropractors “witch doctors” in the past, so I can’t really judge. Although TENS, as far as I can see, at least has a viable mechanism by which it might work, which is more than what I can say for many of chiropractic’s claims.
One could say the same thing about leeching, and skepticism of leeching generally isn’t seen as untoward.
