I went to see Dr. Cheshire for low back pain I have suffered with on and off for 40 years. I am pretty much a skeptic when it comes to non-traditional medicine but was desperate for relief beyond medication. He very thoughtfully explained the process, cost, etc. and I decided to go ahead with a 6 visit plan. He also told me before we started that if I couldn't tell any difference after 6 visits he would not recommend I continue which I thought was a real credability builder. After the initial 6 visits the pain was gone and I finished a triathlon last weekend. I know the experts think it's a placebo and the effect is only psychological but I think there is much more to it than that.
