How can you make a double blind sham spinning chair?

Left disappointed.
Would you settle for a podling? Side note: I was just as disturbed watching this now as I was when I was a kid.

As for rolling it out to every hospital we should wait for the double blind study.
This is absolute ignorance. I've seen the level of understanding of neurology it takes to become certified in that program and it's no joke. They are just as much an expert in the nervous system as anyone. They are just trying to rehabilitate nervous system injuries without cutting out tissue, but stimulating new connections using neuroplasticity and non-invasive procedures. You really should think about things and look into them a little before you post something that denigrating.

And I think Crosby would tend to disagree with your statement considering he went to the top medical neurologists in the country and achieved no progress until he saw the chiropractic neurologist.

Medical school has nothing to do with being a doctor. It is just a particular discipline in the healthcare system, one of many. There are many types of doctors.

yes. We should place our trust and lives with anyone who has a Dr in front of their name. "Nothing to do with"? Your bias is showing

This thread had unlimited potential until you people starting bickering over who's a doctor and who's not. There are Dark Crystal and Last Starfighter references in here for Christ's sake...

I read about this space chair when Sid first came back from his concussion, about how it miraculously helped him feel better. And then he got symptoms again and had to sit out, at which point they stopped talking about space chair and diagnosed it as a neck injury.

Anyways, is this contraption still being credited with his eventual full recovery, or the neck treatments that happened after?

There are many types of doctors, but if you are in a medical setting with a Doctor of Philosophy and use the title of Doctor, there will be some massive alarm bells raised, and rightfully so.

There are dieticians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and like with their doctorate but not once have I ever heard someone with those credentials as a Doctor in a health care setting... which this guy is doing it seems.

All Crosby needed to do was come to the Calgary Stampede and ride the zipper a few times and he'd be cured! Fricken A!

I'm curious what your background is to be able to judge the integrity of the program and "level of understanding in neurology"?
