Good question. I think so many of these procedures have unknown results. The feeling is that "it might help, but we are not sure why". The cumulative results from so many of the studies indicate that there is something working in so many situations that it is worth the effort to try if they know there will be no harm. It is much like "throwing paint at a wall and hoping that something sticks". Many times something sticks.
