If going to the chiropractor works, then physical therapy will work. Basically, you learn to exercise in such a way that your body "holds" the adjustment longer, and then eventually it becomes permanent.

Physical therapy works the muscles scientifically, like tuning the strings of a guitar - just the right amount of tension. The additional strength developed, and the balance among muscle groups, allows the soft tissue - muscles - to hold the spine in place.

So, it is good news that you get relief from chiro.
