I'd have to agree that they aren't very good at solving certain issues that aren't just acute and short-term. I had been developing worse and worse shoulder, neck, and back issues from sitting at desks and working on computers. The doctor wanted to prescribe muscle relaxers and pain relievers, and suggested I try massage therapy. While those things helped some of the symptoms, what completely transformed my situation was hiking and doing yoga (especially yoga). I never have pain like I used to in my back, neck, and shoulders and any that does arise never lingers like it used to. My doctor did not suggest yoga or hiking (or exercise in general) to solve the issues I was having. I know it's an anecdote, but in general in my life doctors seem to try to be experts on matters of health yet can't seem to help with basic beneficial suggestions for certain issues.
