Aside: see a physical therapist instead of a chiropractor.

Edit: search for 'vertebral artery dissections from chiropractic neck adjustments

Seconded. 90% of what chiropractors do is complete quackery.

Oh, I stopped seeing chiropractors once I realized they hadn't bothered to check my high blood pressure in years.

Still it's kind of sad, you can't get honest medical advice from a doctor anymore.

You can't even find maybe you should lose weight in a dating book. Even books targeted towards men are afraid to offend.

Maybe these 2 books are helpful:

Strength Training Anatomy, 3rd Edition by Frederic Delavier

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0736092269/

The Strength Training Anatomy Workout: Starting Strength with Bodyweight Training and Minimal Equipment by Frederic Delavier and Michael Gundill

https://www.amazon.com/Strength-Training-Anatomy-Workout-Bod...

I think for weight loss, seeing a dietician is better. Wikipedia says dieticians are better regualted than nutitionists - they list regulatory bodies in countries including USA.

Dietician:
