It was a sports medicine chiro who kept me whole for years when the Veterans Administration told me my back was totally hosed back in 1976. Without care, his guidance, and serious iron, I'd've needed back surgery far sooner than I actually had to have it, and probably before the techniques which got me out of pain and restored the use of my legs.
Look for a good one who you feel you can trust; they know they can't fix everything, and will tell you when they've done all they can, and not keep billing your insurance. I was lucky: for several years I went to Dr. Ben Weitz in Santa Monica, who's a bodybuilder and understands.
