And people wonder why I am dead-set against Chiropractic?

76. That is way too simplistic. There are multiple reasons and areas of the sciatic nerve that can

cause siatica. Sometimes it does improve over time by itself, other times it does not. Is the nerve inflamed, irritated, because of overuse, or spasming muscles? What muscles? Is your pelvis not aligned properly? Why? Do you have lordosis? How are your iliopsoas? Is there a bulging disc? Have you had hip replacement? Do the simple sciatic stretches help your piriformis decrease spasming and stretch out? Do you need surgery on your disc or are your vertebrae rubbing on each other?

It can be temporary, or permanent. It can have a simple cause or have a bunch of stuff contributing.

I have known too many scamming chiropractors, and refuse to refer to them. I've known a couple decent ones who understand their scope of practice and what they are actually capable of helping with and when to refer out and to whom.
