Who can treat a sciatica problem: a medical doctor or a chiropractor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sciatica: Both can treat this. If you are sure its sciatica then you must have some imaging (MRI) done - then talk to your doctor as to what is the next step eg. Chiropractor. In some states chiropractors can also order imaging.
