It depends. Typically, if the pain is not constant, meaning it gets better/worse/changes throughout the day, that is strong evidence that it can be treated conservatively. If it never gets any better at all and is there every minute of the day, therapy still can work but it might be a surgical issue (in which case you could still find relief). I would find a chiropractor or physical therapist near you trained in the McKenzie Method of Diagnosis and Therapy.

Chiropractic can provide some relief, but you have to answer the question
of why it is always tight. I would look into finding someone who uses
McKenzie therapy locally to see if you have an issue with an intervertebral
disc, and see if anyone uses Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization or DNS
near you to see if you're using those tight neck muscles to compensate for
instability or improper breathing patterns.

Spina bifida can effect the nerves that are responsible for urinary and bowel function, as well as sexual function. Sometimes, with men, though sexual function is seemingly normal, there is no ejaculation. However, if you're not noticing any altered sexual function, it is likely that he is perfectly fertile. If you're in doubt, or are having difficulty conceiving, you can of course see a physician, but it is just as likely that the condition has no effect whatsoever. Good luck!
