The sad thing about my chiro is that he's ART certified (that's why I went to him in the first place) and only after the first time or two did I realize that he'd been doing chiro stuff when I specifically said not to. Not a whole lot of options in Charlotte.

Theyre not physical therapists or trainers so while I expect them to know about those issues and recommend things, its not really up to them to fix them (though they could recommend a trainer but then again most trainers suck).
Maybe not a trainer so much as a physical therapist or sports medicine doctor, but yes, they should provide recommendations for other avenues of treatment--IMHO, chiro in and of itself is shady because it perpetuates itself (you feel good after a treatment, then a week or two later, you have to go back to feel good again, kinda like crack *bah-dum-bum*, without addressing the root problem).
