I've had this issue for years and have had the activator and the bone-crunching kind of chirpractic. I want to tell you about my most recent experience. I think many of us really have what is called impingement of the performis muscle. I see Dr. Michelle with Southern Trace Chiropractic and had mentioned this to her. She did some sort of stretch on me plus I went to one of the massage therapists there who addressed that AND my "sciatic" pain went away. I'm not saying what you're experiencing isn't sciatica...it might be but the stretches really helped my pain (which was significant enough to cause muscle spasms). But Google Periformis Muscle and just read up on what's said about it. Also, on Facebook an ad will come up with some sort of expensive device one can order to help with the stretches. I didn't buy one BUT it did give me a head's up on what quite possibly could be my issue. Want to add here I've also been diagnosed with stenosis of the discs in my lumbar spine so it can be an either/or issue for us as we age.
