Adjustments?

As I have alluded to before, I have had back issues off and on for years - mostly my sciatic nerve. A few weeks ago, the pain all the way down my right side was so bad that I was out of work for almost a week.

I am scheduled to see a pain specialist at a renowned back clinic on Monday, an appointment that was scheduled four weeks ago at the height of the pain.

In the meantime, I have been seeing a chiropractor for the past couple of weeks. I have always been skeptical of chiropractors but was desperate. At any rate, I am very frustrated at this point because I’ll feel better one day, then the adjustment makes things worse or at the very least nothing changes.

Does anyone have experience with a chiropractor? Is this part of it?
