For those who have chronic back issues, how did you decide between physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractor, and other interventions? Was there a logical progression?

I've had a chronic back issue (upper cervical spine) for the last year - decided not to do surgery for now! I've done physical therapy, worked with the trainer, tried cupping therapy, and I'm now considering acupuncture for the last 20% of chronic muscle guarding that I have. Very curious how others navigated this, as it feels very much like a self-directed journey.
