Doctor/Medical Board question

I got a pinched nerve in my lower back working. After 2 different trips to the doc and 2 shots in my butt to help relieve pain, I am stillat square one. Next option they say is physical therapy. My question is how about a chiropractor? Anybody here experience this and what worked best for you. Thanks in advance.

A pinched nerve doesnt mean anything. What is the cause of your symptom? Mri?

Go see a reputable local one. They can tell you if they can help.

Since you didn't ask for a diagnosis you miss the standard AIDS and death is certain comment.
You really need an MRI for starters and Chiros can help. Look into decompression. No heat. Use some ice to relieve inflamation as well as Aleve.

Chiro is gonna say you're out of alignment and you need spinal adjustments 3x/week for 3 months to remove the "interference." If you're serious about fixing the actual problem go to PT.

Sounds normal for your diagnosis. It's most likely not stenosis. Go to PT and see if it gets better. If it doesn't they will refer you to ortho or neuro and do MRI. No MRI needed right now if it improves with pt. You can have a pinched nerve without anything major structurally. You only get to choose your own doc one time with workers comp. don't waste it on a chiro.

Chiros work. Try also stretching, including glutes and hamstrings. I would definitely recommend these types of conservative measures over shots and MRIs. Give it time to heal.
