Spinal Reflex Therapy

Also called SRT, this is a chiropractic, physical therapist, or massage therapist treatment for a made-up diagnosis called "Spondylogenic Reflex Syndrome" or SRS.  Ostensibly this syndrome is demonstrated by throwing cold water on a person's back and watching the arching of the back and withdrawal from the cold water.  The extrapolated theory that requires significant flight of fancy and suspension of physics, is that long term muscle pain is caused by SRS and can only be treated by SRT.  SRS results in Profound pain and dysfunction, muscle spasms and weakness, fatigue, trigger points, soft tissue fibrosis, joint strain, degenerative arthritis, distorted posture, pinched nerves, acute and chronic pain, suppressed organ and immune responses.  It's origin is proposed to be due to poor ergonomics, diet, injury, weakness, stress, and other diffuse causes.  Of the millions of published medical articles, there are none containing the phrase "Spinal reflex therapy", therefore this is a quack therapy, manufactured by practitioners solely for the purpose of deluding the public.
