It wasnt super fucked up because I caught it early rather than wait a long time. The point is that Ive had issues were the ortho tells me to stop lifting or to just rest, then I go back to lifting and the pain is still there.

Meanwhile, chiropractic care (with soft tissue work) has fixed all of my structural issues and I only go when I need to. Yes I have to keep going because of what I do, but at the same time, no one just goes to a Dr. once (espcially if you have a chronic disease of some sort).
