Sciatic-HELP!!!

Thanks Trish.
I couldn't imagine going through it as much as you!!  You must be strong!

I did get some relief after a lot of massage chair time...but now my back feels bruised because I think it was trying too hard to relieve the pain (punching, massaging, rubbing, etc). .

Hopefully too though, the chiropractor Friday might help. Never been to one before, but I guess there's a first time for everything  ;-)

I have been seeing a chiropractor since I was 10 years old. I LOVE mine! I hope you have a good experience!

Good to know, thank you.
I've always been skeptical of them...I've heard that once you start going you can't stop going....but I'm not willing to let this pain rule me through my pregnancy.

It isn't as bad today...but we are talking at least 2 hours worth of massage....

I go to mine whenever I "need" to. Like, if I have been getting frequent headaches, if my back is killing me, etc. I have been going to mine for years because I don't believe in traditional medicine (ie: taking a pill for every ailment I have) so, chiropractic has been a great solution for me and my family.

There ARE some "quacks" out there. I went to college and while I was away from my regular guy, I saw a different guy that I HATED. I think the hands-on chiropractors are the best. I don't like the ones who use the inversion tables and all that other mumbo-jumbo.

Good to know, thank you!!! 
Yeah, I prefer hands on approach myself...just from simple experience of physical therapy, doing stupid exercises I can do at home-while they sit back and drink coffee...yeah, not so much.

Ha ha ha.

Thanks again!!
