In fact, many tried essentially the same physio exercises but nothing took until the back was adjusted first. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that correlation = causation but I find there to be significantly strong evidence to suggest the adjustment needed to occur for the physio to be effective.
In short...I would stay away from ANY chiro who doesn't couple things with physio as they don't want to fix the problem but rather maintain the problem and have you coming back. I would also give physio only a good chance to work as indeed it will correct/help most things (6 years and multiple therapists and it did nothing for my back. I've had physio on my shoulder and knees that was wonderful). And really remember that as with most professions the bulk of people are NOT top notch and if a person is dealing with your body you want to search out the people that are top notch. It took me 6 years and multiple cities and countries to find those people. I'm not about to discard them because they have the misfortune to be called a "doctor" of chiropractic.
I agree on neck adjustments btw. Stay away from them. My guys will not do them unless you request it and even then they will usually decline.
