Maybe that's because they know this:

Personally I've had some good success seeing a sports physio for back problems (herniated disks). I also went through a number of practitioners, osteo, chiro, physio etc. They all more or less gave me the same treatment and advice. In my case the physio was quited experienced and definitely not afraid to make me feel the pain.
