The inflammation in my lower back is almost completely gone. I can now get out of bed without guiding myself up by using the wall and my desk. I am still amazed at the work that chiropractor did. Tomorrow I'll do front squats and avoid exercises like regular squats and good mornings where the weight rests on my back.

if you aren't 100% tomorrow, I wouldn't do anything that puts strain on your back like squats.
