i think bogduk would say that this study lacks "construct validity". i may have the terminology wrong, but that is a fancy way of saying "the study makes no effing sense".

why would you decompress a nerve that is not compressed? i cant get the entire article right now, but i bet they have some lame rationale

There is a podiatrist in my region who does this, and I just think who the hell is paying for this?
