My experience matches this as well. I used to see a chiropractor for back pain, and honestly it did help a bit. But I started exercising for other reasons, and that marked the real change. I felt better, even without going to the chiro. I can still feel the difference today. If I go on vacation, say, and skip exercise for more than a few days, I can feel soreness and stiffness returning. But once I pick back up the exercising (and stretching, too, I suppose), the discomfort dissipates.
