Can a chiropratictor really fix an irritated nerve in hip caused by the back?

The chiropractor wants me to come back 3 times a week for adjustments to fix my heavy leg and stiff lower back. All he did was pop my neck and then twist me around to pop my back. I don't understand how that's supposed to put everything back in place.

Go to a clinic that does spine and pain. They'll do an xray, CT or MRI of the spine. Depending on what they think the issue is. Then come up with a treatment plan.

Just note local laws if you sign up with a pain management center. As you may have to use them solely for pain medication while a current patient. This is to keep people from double dipping. But if you get meds from them then get pain meds from another doctor. You could get flagged.

I don’t think so they all talk a big game but do nothing all they do is just stretch you a little bit

Nope

Why do you say that?

They’re hucksters. A real Dr NEVER wants to see you again. These guys want you to keep coming back for “adjustments.” Get real

I'm feeling better after that one adjustment. I think of they adjust the right thing it helps
