Rant: My chiropractor says I have 'farrier's spine'.

My back is shaped like a question mark now.

Honestly I saw this all the time at my old clinic. They give things weird names to make it sound like only they can fix it. Tbh you should get an x-ray from your actual doctor to see the real curve. A physical therapist can give you stretches to slowly work on it, way better than just getting cracked. Ngl that posture is gonna take consistent work to improve.

Ugh, total scam naming for just bad posture.

That sounds like a made up term to make a common problem sound fancy. A lot of chiropractors use special names for things to seem like they have secret knowledge. Your spine curving like that is usually just poor posture or a muscular imbalance. Might be worth getting a second opinion from a regular doctor or a physical therapist.
