I'm a patient, and I and thousands of others, have been greatly helped by the Toftness chiropractic technique.  I've had two serious injuries in my life, and in both cases Toftness treatments have proved to be the most effective therapy.  For me, other chiropractic techniques have been "hit and miss."  Perhaps because the Toftness technique is more precise than any other, and also uses far less force than any other technique, I can always rely on it to put my spine into proper position, eliminate muscle spasms and pain, restore full range of motion and allow me sleep at night, even after another chiropractor using more clumsy, manual techniques has maladjusted me.  The FDA's harassment of Toftness doctors is shameful, there are fewer chiropractors using Toftness because if it, and it directly  
 threatens my health and my future. 

 For background, there are dozens of chiropractic techniques, and dozens of chiropractic devices.  The Toftness technique uses the Toftness device to help determine where and how the spine is out of position.  The Toftness device is a diagnostic tool, and it's function is similar to that of a stethoscope used by a medical doctor.  Like a stethoscope, the Toftness device is not powered by electricity or a battery.  Unlike a stethoscope, the Toftness device never touches the patient.  The FDA regulates devices, and it has approved dozens of devices for chiropractic use.  But, although multiple studies have shown that the Toftness device works as intended, the FDA has mysteriously refused to consider applications to approve it.  Instead it responds to applications with police-style raids and complaints about using an unapproved medical device.  The whole thing is absurd and unconscionable.  The only  
 fathomable explanation for the FDA's actions is that the Toftness device (and technique) works too well.  It may be coveted by some party who wants the patent, or may be considered a threat to the profits of other doctors and drug companies.
