Probably not,depends: The chiropractor may be able to help with some of the pain(maybe not), but will not decrease inflammation that can destroy bone in your back and lose back flexibility, and will not change the course of degenerative (osteoarthritis)in your back.The only way to stop inflammatory arthritis in your spine effectively(and its pain)is with meds that stop your white blood cells from attacking your spine.
