Default sciatic pain

I have had it twice- once on either side. The first time my doctor gave me meds and sent me to PT for 12 weeks- 3 times per week for about 1 hr each visit. It took 9 or 10 weeks before there was any significant improvement. The second time I chose to go to a chiropractor instead of physical therapy. 3 weekly 10 minute sessions and I was much improved by the third week. I strongly suggest going the chiropractic route, but realize that the same treatment might not be appropriate for everyone.
