Opinions about chiropractic care versus physical therapy...
My current issue is a pelvic "pop" that I can feel but not hear when I walk, etc. and it does not hurt. I want to try to get it resolved because I want to start swimming on a regular basis.
Thanks!

Ryan,
I've had this condition since at least 1988 (along with stenosis in the same area). Although I had one doc that was ready to cut immediately, others were much more conservative and I've been able to get by with aggressive
P-T (primarily core stabilization) which probably improved my swimming in the long run. I've learned to live with the sciatica and will only consider surgery if I start losing strength in my legs. However, my research re surgery shows improved surgical techniques and much shorter less restrictive recovery periods than you described.
Best of luck,
Rich
