No, unless....: You have piriformis syndrome! i believe that injection works better than manipulation and is quicker to give relief. Some cchiropractors also have vax-d machines which may help. But serious nerve root impingement needs orthopedic or neurosurgical involvement!

Chiropractor: It sounds like you have nerve impingement. If you need an adjustment or soft tissue treatment, chiropractic therapy is good. If you pain is not improved, you can go to see a pain management doctor. You might benefit from physical therapy and injections.

Possible: Many times conservative care can include chiropractic care. if you are not better soon (less than 10-15 treatments), then consider other options like a spine fellowship trained pain specialist.
