Really bad ddd and other problems

danchamp,
Canada's healthcare system is interesting as it seems to depend a lot upon where you live. Are you covered by any private or public insurance plans.
Your disc disease isn't looking so bad for sixty. Mostly mild, but some moderate Sure looks occupation related.
You have good alignment throughout. I'm sure you are having pain, mostly from foraminal stenosis. You have bulging discs but it seems that non are herniated. And, thankfully, no central canal stenosis, at least visibly in this report.
I imagine the most pain at L5 where you have bilateral pars interarticularis spondylolysis which is actually a fracture of the pars--the slender bones that connect (the upper and lower facets and stabilize the vertebra. now you have L5 sliding forward over S1 which leaves less room for the nerves exiting the facets. The movement in your spine is only grade 1. https://www.healthcentral.com/condition/spondylolisthesis/pars-fractures I link this for the image of the pars which I think rather difficult to imagine.
The neck may be the most painful. While you have mild DDD there is severe foraminal stenosis at C3-4, C4-5 and C5-6. The foramen is a space left for the nerves to exit the spine. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24856-foraminal-stenosis this link is for the image of the foraminal space. You have disc bulges narrowing the space because the disc separates the vertebral bodies. And you have osteophytes--tiny sharp bones that irritate the nerves. Osteophytes usually develop over several years. They can be removed. Disc bulges sometimes resolve.
But to answer your question finally.
Chiropractor are a good bet. I get great relief and they are less expensive here than doctors. They perform the lost art of the physical exam. And give you the best information on why you have pain with which movements. Physical therapy would be great for you. You don't want to aggravate the discs with movement. So you need the right movements to nourish the discs. You really have to move around. You shouldn't work out on your own walking is safe. I imagine that your discs would be helped by traction.

The center of the disc is mostly fluid and acts as a cushion. Stay hydrated.

Thx for answering
