Well here our medical things are free, that includes physio when
ordered by your doctor.

I went free, sent by my doctor to a specialist in vertigo and have
been receiving treatment from him, all free. However another friend
who developed vertigo has spent much on some sort of 'wholistic help'
and she is still held down by vertigo and having a miserable life.

Unfortunately our medical system also has to offer free help to those
people damaged by chiropractors.
