That sucks, chiros are a scam. Surgery used to be pushed hard too, when rest and appropriate PT is usually the best option. Unfortunately people ignore the PT far too often and just focus on the rest part, and end up even worse off due to not being able to maintain stabilizer muscle.
Active rest and PT really keeps a body healthy, especially as one gets older.
Yeah, I get surgery sometimes is pushed unnecessary but in my case my femur head made me have a FAI angle of only 35 degrees. Which caused physical damage to the point of oedema, osteoporosis, a cyst and shredded connective tissue. No PT is going to solve that. Recovery took over a year but at least I can now train 4-5 times a week again when before I was lucky if I could go once every two weeks.
And fuck chiropractors. I'm still angry at my former physician for referring me to a quack who cracked my neck for something that literally was a congenital problem with my femur head. I suppose I should have gotten a second opinion but I brought this up from when I was twenty untill in my thirties. It was only spotted when I got a full body RX for something else.
