Have you ever been to a chiropractor?

I’m wondering if they can help with sciatic nerve issues 😕

No, largely because the chiropractor in my town is a religious nut who referred a friend of mine to an exorcist when she went in for an adjustment.

@NickiHijab I'm cracking up just thinking about it. Like, the level of religious nut he must be to diagnose demonic possession from a back problem...

Yes. Some of them have a special table that raises your rear end up in the air. It stretches you and provides relief temporarily. You should always have an MRI or a cat scan of the spine before being treated by a chiropractor.

Oh man I need that right now 😩. Also didn’t know I should do all that before making an appointment with one. Thanks!@4meAndyou

@Effloresce I was treated for a pinched nerve and sciatica by a chiropractor with that special table, and it feels fabulous when you first walk out of there, but it only lasts one to two days. The chiropractor I saw NEVER x rayed anything he treated, which is extremely irresponsible.

In the medical community I think this is up to debate in how chiropractic care works. It's quite conceivable that a nerve issue is within what someone who practices upon bone structure, etc could affect, so seek what help you can find that way?

Yeah I have been visiting one on the regular after I was attacked and my neck and back needed to be worked on. I'm almost okay now.
I have. Good for realignments, but not sure about that - hope you find a fix somewhere though!

Yes I have. Sometimes it takes awhile though for you to notice a difference but it's worth it.
Yesss but only once. Try it o:

Yep, and for the same problem.

My problem was more serious, and if anything they just made things worse.
