I had a similar issue. After encouragement from my wife, I visited a chiropractor. A few adjustments later, and my back pain is dramatically reduced. My chiropractor isn’t pushing holistic medicine or other garbage, or I would be running from the experience. There are many charlatans out there looking to fleece the desperate, so be careful.

There are plenty of good chiropractors out there, especially (I find) ones who do more sports-related work. I still regular MDs about any long term issues, but especially for something sudden or a small injury like falling funny or wrenching a back muscle, a chiropractor can help take off the edge and train muscles for better posture.

But stay away from the ones who think they can treat medical issues with spinal adjustments or weird arts.

See a PT. Chiropractors are quacks.
