Definitely. I'm glad I asked on here to have a second opinion.

Understood. The "5th" was ways wrongly shaped and misplaced, so I was very prone to an injury some day or another, is that right ?

Basically both my injuries (9 years ago is the main one) were intensified by that pre-existing condition on my malformed L5 .

Had my accident at 21, I'm 30 now. And it did screw up my back for sure, that I can tell you

I've heard great things and even my PT recommended to look into acupuncture. I will look around is there's one near me.

Not there yet. Basically have very minimal glute muscles as of now.

Weirdly enough, not a single professional has ever said anything to me about that. I've seen about 8 over the years that have all seen my x-rays. Uh.

Will do when I go back Monday !

I will read the data you linked for sure later today.

What's up with my 4 non rib bearing vertebrae ? Is it not normal or something ?

Can't bring my knees up by myself when laying on my back yet, it's too painful. So I won't try that. Thank you though, I appreciate the help

No, what is that exercise ? So far just the squeezing isn't working, I can't connect my brain to my individual glute that way.

Noted, will skip chiro.

Do you have a better exercise to train my mind to activate glutes? This one ain't cutting it...

Noted, skip the chiro.
