Common issues related to poor KNEE TRACKING ?

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this case after Simon Singh wrote an article in the Guardian in 2008 heavily criticising the chiropractic profession. The British Chiropractic Association sued him for libel but eventually dropped proceedings after the Court of Appeal upheld Singh's right to rely on the defence of fair comment.

Afterwards, Dr Richard Brown, head of the BCA, wrote in The Chiropractic Report:

"Sadly, with the stark realisation that the cake is being sliced ever more thinly, combined with student debt and escalating living costs, it is unsurprising that new (and not-so-new) graduates are seeking innovative ways of making a living. Inevitably, however, innovation for some means sailing closer to the wind than ethics and professionalism permit....the idea that somehow achieving a subluxation-free world will be the panacea for all ills has to be publicly debunked. Moreover, cheap public denouncements of standard medical care whilst at the same time lauding the near-magical effects of the spinal adjustment must stop...As we stand, the chiropractic profession continues in some high-profile quarters to shoot itself in the foot...My heart sinks when I see patient leaflets that describe subluxation as ‘the silent killer’. Young colleagues who tell me that at practice-building seminars they are given scripts that tell them how to shake their heads, adopt a solemn expression and sigh, “It’s bad news Mrs Jones; you have subluxation."

Wow, that is an incredible article by Simon Singh. Thank you for posting the link.I had forgotten about that case. I think that pretty much confirms what many on here have been trying to say.

Care to share? I have an issue that a local physio half-sorted out but I'm keen to get to the bottom of it...

I was not sure if you were planning to just slag off whoever I named, so I was being a little coy...............

I went to see this chap http://www.grahamspowage.co.uk/

My initial visit came about because my back had 'gone' and I was in agony. It had been a regular occurence for a number of years. Graham had a good look at me, and found that my pelvis was twisted and tilted. Over a period of a few weeks, he 'put it back'. I can't say it was pleasurable - think 'dry humped by a rhino' and you will get the gist Anyway, I very quickly found that with my reset pelvis, not only did my back become way happier (and has not 'gone' since), but my right leg pedal action began to right itself (it had been a nightmare for years) and my bass drum technique (I am a bit of a drummer in my other life), which had also started suffering, also began to come back to where it should be. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Pollys Bott? I believe that is a rather nice little hill in the Bradgate area, is it not? (well, Polly Botts is, anyway!)

The mind boggles

Thanks, I'll give them a call. Yes, PB is one of numerous nice little hills round the back of Bradgate Park; hours of fun to be had...
