great to hear that it's August 2026 and Matthews back is still fucked
safe to say it's probably permanent at this point
at least he's not trying to claim being healthy like he did going into last year. obviously that wasn't going to work again when his shot has dropped off that badly
going to be real interesting seeing the reaction to him asking for 20 million on his next deal (which of course he will)

Well we already knew it was chronic and wasn't gonna magically disappear overnight. But if he can find ways to manage it under the guidance of a genius chiropractor or the new leafs biologic age magical voodoo dude, then maybe that's ok.
It doesn't need to be cured, it probably won't be. That's not how chronic back issues work. But there's a world in which he finds ways to manage it effectively; it's only been a couple years, it takes time to find something that works. This treatment shit is highly personalized and often needs trial and error, not one size fits all.

I've seen a chiropractor for 20+ years, I know the difference.

Too soon to make that claim but early data looks promising

Go and watch the chiro videos on youtube and most of it high level physio manual manipulation with a bit of traction thrown in for neck issues. They'll do the spine cracker shit for views, but the majority of the treatments are manual physio.

Fuckin' kid takes his social skills note out of his hip pocket, applies it, and means it. I'm havin' a ball following this kid. Wish him all the best and can't wait to see him in his first NHL game.

maybe. you've outlined the only hope we've got here. the guy has already tried whatever short of surgery already.. the German guy etc. it has been utterly ineffective by the eye test, although I couldn't say how it feels for him personally.
