Hello,

I personally think physiotherapy is the best bet. As for chiropractic I wouldn't suggest it except for high level athletes, because the grade 5 manipulations do not have significant amounts of evidence in treating slipped discs. What the manipulations can do however is release a large amount of endorphins giving you the sensation of a good feeling or 'buzz' from treatment. However, I think that managing your problem is the first step (alleviating aggravating factors), second is pain relief (either via meds or massage, or other), third is to begin a progressive exercise and movement program that will allow you to maintain a relative fit health status while the symptoms resolve.

Regards
