Arthritis Back Pain

I recently injured my lower back. It has always been a vulnerable area for me. When I went to the doctor, he prescribed PT. The PT confirmed what I suspected. I was way out of alignment. I could tell this was the case when I looked in the mirror but had gotten so used to it that it barely registered. This was what caused the injury. Over time, the imbalance in my body caused one side of my sacrum to take too much force when I exercised. It was inevitable.

I went to a chiropractor who, over a period of two months, adjusted me to proper alignment.
While I’m not sure I would send an elderly person for forceful adjustments, the chiropractor also used some forms of gentle manipulation. I wonder if something like that would be helpful.

As of right now, I am “straight” for the first time in decades and am feeling much better.
