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!!
