Summary
A Reddit user with loss of smell and taste went to a chiropractor who had them press their tongue to the roof of their mouth before flicking their head. Within a couple of hours they were smelling and tasting 100%; a few days later smell was almost 100% and taste 50%. They were told they could return for more sessions and said they need to get back in. The duration of illness before treatment was not stated.
