Just that really.
For the past 18 months I've seen one for a chronic low back problem with no specific cause. (Exhausted nhs options)
Chiro worked but disliked business model of this one practice(pressurising for 22 sessions and a "plan")
Or it won't work". Stopped going after a while. Worked 60%. Nice practice beautifully clean and branded but super gimmicky.
Back seized again so painful. went to a differ one with a different model. He is wondrous and back is easing already he said at between 3-4 sessions and a top as and when.

It’s better understood now to have an impact on neurology and how your brain perceives and controls your body. It helps create new ‘neural pathways’ which are firing in your brain all the time, in the same way a baby develops or you learn a new skill. That’s why it’s particularly good with long term pain issues or repetitive patterns of pain. It’s also why athletes and F1 drivers use it - quicker reflexes!
The research also says that it promotes parasympathetic drive (calm healing state of your nervous system) which is the opposite of the stress/fight or flight state.
Not bad for something which has very low risk compared to other interventions.
I think it’s been misunderstood for a long time, is all.
