My physio has them. He doesn't seem to be bothered about keeping them
with my medical records.

I don't blame you. But you don't know everything, and you don't know
everyone. You can't say what's right or wrong for any one individual
except yourself.

I'm sitting here telling you that my experience is ... pain relief, and
no scam. And you are bleating about ... Christopher Reeve?
What-the-***-ever. You don't want to hear anything that contradicts
what you've already made up your mind about. I'm telling you that my
experience has not followed the path you claim is the norm, and all you
can think to do is compare me someone who *crushed* his spinal cord?

You're not exactly making yourself look like the open-minded but
cautious crusader you claim to be. Would it have been so difficult to
say "Wow, sounds like you *might* have found one of the few decent
practitioners out there. Tell me more."? Or do you think I'm so stupid
that I don't know the difference between my body being fucked up and my
body being healthy? That after ten-plus years of dealing with this
injury, I'm not qualified to understand which treatments have brought me
relief and which treatments have done absolutely nothing for me?

Bottom line: I've gone from daily headaches, neck pain, and jaw pain
which were unresponsive to narcotics, muscle relaxers, and physical
therapy to no pain at all. None. And I don't have to keep going back
for adjustments. I have one follow-up appointment scheduled and that
should be it.

Where's the scam?
