massaging / deep tissue / cupping stimulates the nerves/tendons/joints. stretching has many benefits to this also which works simultaneously.
If it wasn't for my physio, I would be hardly walking, especially after a bad squat injury and 2 days later a car crash. Yes stretching , pressing the right trigger zones can accurately/ effectively contribute in the repair of most common sporting physical injuries.
Don't knock it till you try out! no harm in trying
Doctor first mate. Don't want a Physio or Chiro doing manipulations/traction if you have disc bulges or the like. Get a scan to see what's going on back there. Then the Physio/Chiro knows better what to treat.
What this bloke said.
We both know from personal experience about fucked backs. See a doctor, insist on an MRI, even if you have to pay for it, and go from there. Anything else is simply time wasting and guessing.
Do not lift any more weights until you have a factual answer. A scan is the only way to confirm or deny any structural damage, and it sounds like you have some.
