This happened to me and I wasted a lot of money. I found my lower back pain was related to improper weightlifting form, but want to point out how right you are to mention that chiropractors do this sort of thing and I wish I researched it beforehand. They take x-rays and then proceed to find "imbalances" which they proceed to "treat" with these long treatment plans that don't usually work. Chiropractors are not doctors and anyone can find something that looks wrong with a shoddy xray. They also made me watch some weird video on subluxations that seemed to subtly suggest other diseases could be treated with chiropractics. And they also had me purchase bromelain and some other supplement that did nothing for me. The crime with all of this IMO is that it gives the impression that a chiropractor is like a doctor, but it couldn't be further from the truth.
I'm sure you can find a good chiropractor as you're suggesting, but just want to tack on to your emphasis that you have to do some searching.
