Very disappointed and rather shocked to hear Dr Hilary Jones on R2 today recommend people see a chiropractor/osteopath to have their necks cracked!
Laura M. replied:
Not an entire book. Ullman's columns on the internet are full of studies. And which particular aspect of so-called modern medicine would you suggest I offer studies in? Big field, that. But here's one Ullman cites from a French doctor, or doesn't that count? http://www.springerlink.com/content/0557 v31188 m3766 x/fulltext.pdf It is a study of the dilutions required for homeopathic preparations and their effectiveness.

Laura, this is the chiropractic magic I refer to: " The message from the brain is slowed down and the life energy carried by the nerve is unable to reach the organs and tissues at 100% of its potential." http://gibsonschiropractic.com/what-is-chiropractic.html The amount of times they use the word science and yet fail to comprehend the meaning of the word 'energy' is scary. Remember, energy is not a 'thing,' it is a measurement of work potential, like metres is a measurement of distance. You can't manipulate a Meter or summon one at will.

Laura, the chances are you're wasting your money. http://edzardernst.com/2013/10/twenty-things-most-chiropractors-wont-tell-you/ and http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/QA/osteo.html clearly the correct (not vile) pills are the ones you want and the best (not dangerous) surgery if required. Pitting woo medicine against the wrong science is not really a comparison worth making.
Kris K. replied:
This pushes many of my buttons too, but unlike Jo I shan't remain measured. Dana Ullman is a fraud, a quack, a shyster, a magic water-peddling gobshite whose claims are as bogus as his medical qualifications, and the kind of morally-bankrupt purveyor of pseudo-scientific garbage that has no qualms about spreading disinformation that could get people killed if it sells another book. Citing such a repulsive toad to support the junk nonsense that is homeopathy instantly loses both the argument and any chance of my respect.
My back is in agony. does anyone know a good physio/chiropractor??
Dave J. replied:
Yes I know a brilliant physio. Paul Sumner. Works at Fort stanford Plymstock. He also works at Nhs St barabas Saltash. He sorted out all my injury for 20 years hence still playing.

Dr.John Truex at Truex Chiropractic,located on Aldrin Rd.about 3-4 buildings up on the right.Great guy and staff.I was in a wheel chair for awhile due to a slip on ice,and he got me walking again.
No matter how I sit, stand, lie down or whatever this back pain is crap. Anyone know a decent chiropractor in Plymouth?
Jen H. replied:
Oh dear Hun, that's not nice, I know a great chiropractor in Newton Abbott if you can get there? Check out the link on my page to momentum chiropractic clinic, his name is Matt Wright and he's Stu's best friend xxx
Back home.....had lots of X-Rays taken. Docs on Wednesday and then may start looking for a good chiropractor as physiotherapy has been absolutely rubbish. Strapped me up...
Wendy P. replied:
Theres a brilliant chiropractor called Mr Kelly. I think he is in Milehouse.. When I saw him years ago he was just starting out at the chiropractic clinic
Seen chiropractor last week, saw nurse last week, saw doctor Sunday night, saw physio last night, still the pain is getting worse.... Unbearable and in tears all night....
