I go to a good chiropractor when my back gets out of alignment and get
sciatica. It doesn't cost me anywhere near $1800--- if you have a good
one (and there are many mediocre or just plain dangerous ones out
there) then it should not take that many treatments (unless of course
he is putting his kid through college at your expense ;-)).
I would get a personal referral for one in your area. If you don't know
anyone who uses one, ask a few of the chiros for references. If someone
says they are going 3X week for the same problem with no
improvement.....
Good luck

Just found out why I have
sciatica. About 3 years ago
when Jack bolted, I bailed and fell pretty hard. As the sciatica got
worse, I gave in and finally went to a chiropractor last week. He took
e-xrays.
The x-ray shows my L5 vertebrae was shoved out of alignment. Now he
suggests $1800 of treatments. Has anyone else had this and what did
you
do? One of the reasons I hesitate is that it seems that riding would be
counter
productive to the treatments and I truthfully don’t want to put riding
on
hold. Plus, I keep thinking of the rides I could go to with that
$1800.
Does anyone know of any exercises that might help?
