There was a thread on the forum which I searched for in vain.
It spoke about chiropractic, and the few newer therapies that may have some benefit.
One was a decompression technique practiced by chiros in Toronto.
If you remember it, could you point me to some information on this practice please.

ETA:
I'm not looking for adverts, I'm looking for studies or peer reviewed articles on the technique.

Was this the thread?

There’s also this thread which might interest you. It discusses cold laser treatment:

And Harriet Hall, MD, recently wrote a superb article on misleading back pain treatments over at Science Based Medicine. It took a close look at spinal decompression and is well worth a read:

Thanks very much.
I don't accept chiropractic myself. I'm just investigating any techniques that might have any efficacy for a relative who swears by them.

ETA: Funny, I searched decompression and got no hits...
