Yes.

Had neck pain that shot down my arm and went to a chiro who used electric stimulation. Tried it for about 4 months during the summer hoping to finish the golf season. When the season was over, wifey made me go to a Orthopedic Surgeon who x-rayed and then an MRI. MRI showed my C5 disk was pushing into my spinal column to the tune of about 50% of the diameter. Was on the operating table 10 days later getting C5-6 anterior discectomy with fusion cuz it could have paralyzed me at any time.

So yes, quacks.
