Yo! I'm really deep into my healthcare and I have a Chiro/Physio & Massage therapist in my contacts haha. Out of the 3 I see my Physio & Massage therapist a lot more frequently compared to the Chiro.
Chiro: The chiro is super worth it if you feel that your body isn't aligned correctly. A quick test you can do is looking straight ahead, and then slowly seeing how far you can look to the left, and then the right. If your neck is really stiff and you notice one side can't rotate as well as the other, a chiro can definitely do an adjustment which is when you'll start to hear all kinds of pops! My chiro also checks my spine and after a few corrections you definitely notice your body posture improves like crazy.
Physio: I see me Physio a lot more since I'm into bodybuilding and my forearms/arms tend to get nerve soreness. They help with this electrotherapy and attach a sunction cup type of thing to my arms and it shoots low voltages into the nerves. You'll see your arms/hands moving by themselves and it's really trippy the first time but it actually feels amazing and at the end you feel brand new! Combined with proper stretching & nerve gliding exercises it really stops all nerve issues.
Massage: My most frequently visited healthcare. I aim to go once every 2-4 weeks based on what my body tells me for any target areas that are sore. I think the key here is finding 1 therapist that you enjoy and sticking with them, since they get used to your body and know how to work your pain areas. My therapist has medium strength which is perfect when she is targeting the larger muscles that are sore.
Hope this helps
