Only if you let it. Treat every injury as a sign to rest and recover, don’t overdo it, and don’t fight a submission you already lost.
I’ve been doing it for 17 years and I feel great. Had a few injuries over the years and I always take time off and do active recovery instead while I’m injured.
That sucks, chiros are a scam. Surgery used to be pushed hard too, when rest and appropriate PT is usually the best option. Unfortunately people ignore the PT far too often and just focus on the rest part, and end up even worse off due to not being able to maintain stabilizer muscle.
Active rest and PT really keeps a body healthy, especially as one gets older.
