Should I visit a chiropractor or hospital for back pain in Thailand?

Jon ******

I've been living with lower back pain for over 20 years "L3, L4, L5" the best treatment for me was stretching and yoga. I do both daily and the most improvement out of everything else like the chiropractor or pills, cheers

Sry for your loss but some lessons are learned the hard way hopefully you learned from this, stay positive you didn't do anything wrong except trust someone. I tell my daughter not to trust anyone until they prove themselves trust worthy.
