Im no physician, I dont know.

My chiropractor made a small suggestion that a walk in the forest could help, and I discarded it because I was already "walking in the forest" a lot. Except I kept to the well-trodden paths. And I walked on asphalt to get to the forest. And it didnt really help. And the exercises he told me to do at home didnt really do much.

Probably was from getting away from the chiropractor, ngl

American chiros are weird.

My current guy is all about not wanting to see me, and wishes for my continued success in doing so. When I do drop by, and I'm active, it's a checkup and a "keep doing that and now fuck off for 3 months" as part of long-term care for a life-altering slip-n-fall 30 years ago.

In fact, I've had like 6 chiros in my time, as we tend to move about a lot, and while their diagnostic gear changes from place to place, the hallmark of a good chiro is "do these exercises, stay mobile, and come back if you feel you need to; but I'll be happy if we only talk once a season".

When you first need a chiro, see two. Drop the one that seems to be too mercenary or woo-woo-crystals-magic.

Or see a physiotherapist instead.
