Nah a good chiropractor is going to address the problem in a way that modern medicine seems to forget. I had some serious back problems and was in a lot of pain. My chiropractor helped me lose weight by sensible calorie restriction diet and eating healthier foods, explained that in an easy to understand way. He also gave me stretching exercises and strength training routines to help me build my core muscles up which help to stabilize the spine.

All of that was in addition to adjustments. I had a diagnosed bulging disk by MRI and orthopedic surgeon and was on the block for surgery. That was years ago and my back has almost no pain now simply because the addition of muscle and proper diet and exercise fixed a problem without the knife.
