Dr Siff, I will go and have a look a these articles. As I have emphaised, I am not universally dismissing any electrotherapy, because I use it myself (and if I did, then I would be a hypocrite!!). No, I believe electrotherapy plays a role in manual therapy, but all I am saying is that if this is not carefully studied and analyzed in this age of evidence based practice, it will not survive!!
