Question
Hi I visited a chiropractor six monthas ago and he cracked he lied me on my side and cracked my si joint. Since that day my lower back has been in rough shape. It is always tight and the muscles in lower back often affect my the shape of my body. They often are so tight that, they mke my butt stick out and my back look like it is sunk it. The right side is worst than the left. I had an x-ray done and take muscle relaxers. I have been in physiotherpy for three months, none of it has worked. I also went to get massages and massage people told me I'm so tight that they can't get their hands were they need to because my back muscles are so tight.I strech everyday and only get a little relief. My right side is worst then my left I was told and everyone I went to told me to work on that side more and I do, but I get no relief. What can I do doc, if you know please help me? I went the chiropractor for neck pain, why did he crack my si joint?. I went to  a chirpractor not far from him for years, but people told me the guy who hurt me was better and I should go there, I did and I guess I found out the hard way he isn't. Six months of pain is too long, is there anyway I will ever get better? I'm only in my twenties I shouldn't have a messed up back like this, I should be able to walk this out.

Answer
Have second opinion with a very reputable chiropractor. There is no reason your back condition cannot be resolved with a chiropractor. My only concern would be a bulging or herniated disc that may need further evaluation. I would suggest an MRI at this point.
