Can a chiropractor help with a back injury?

I got a back injury yesterday and I want to fix it. Can a chiropractor help with a back injury?

More than likely a chiropractor would be a good first choice for your back injury.  Depending on the cause they will more than likely want to get at least two x-rays; one from the front and one from the side.  This is necessary to evaluate the biomechanical issues that cause your pain and to rule out any pathology that may require a referral to a specialist.
Assuming it's just a musculo-skeletal injury, the chiropractic will use a combination of gentle manipulation and physio-therapeutics to minimize the pain and correct the cause.
Yes. I believe they can.

Yes chiropractors treat people with back pain all the time. Another option
is a physical therapist, which I personally prefer. Please remember that
the fix will not happen overnight. It will be a process.

Hope it helps!!
