I wouldn't venture to say something about TENS since I don't know about
the evidence behind it either but I'm not sure there is any more
evidence for ultrasound and interferential therapy(??what is that??).
Use of physical therapy(PT) has been documented to be as effective as
chiropractic care and both modalities use many different methods.
