I've had back pain for about a year now and my X-ray showed spondylolysis at L5-S1. I've heard about chiropractic care but I'm really not keen on surgery. What would you recommend as the best treatment option for this?

Core training and strengthening of back muscles play a major role in managing back pain. Dynamic stimulation therapy for strengthening of back muscles have shown good results in similar cases. It gives long lasting pain relief and also helps to arrest further degeneration.

View allI've been looking into limb lengthening surgery to increase height and heard doctors prescribe bone growth medication during the process. Since the surgery involves breaking the bone and letting it regrow in the gap, I'm wondering if taking those same medications without surgery could still help bones grow and increase height naturally. I'm 39 years old is that even possible at my age?
No medicine can increase your height without surgery. If you are determined to increase your height then you have to go with limb lengthening surgery. But I also warn you it is not a easy surgery and chance of post operative pain and complications are high

My wife is scheduled for bilateral total knee replacement surgery on April 1st 2020 but with the COVID situation, I'm really worried about her staying in the hospital for over 20 days post-op. Is it safe to go ahead with the surgery right now or should we postpone it?
It is not advisable to go for elective surgery in the present day serinio when the whole atmosphere is infected with covid 19. It will have all medical, social & legal repurcatations. However she can practice some yoga based exercises.

I'm worried about my knees. I've been told I have chondromalacia grade 4, and I'm really concerned about it progressing into osteoarthritis. Also, I've started doing some quadriceps strengthening exercises, like box squats and lunges, to try to help with the stability, but I'm scared that I might be damaging my cartilage even more. Is that something I should be really cautious about?
