Should Hips And Knees Osteoarthritis Be Treated By A Chiropractor?

I have osteoartheritis in through my hips and both knees. It is very difficult for me to be mobile and walk around. My primary physician has sent me an orthopedist who wants to do surgery on knees and hips. I will not do that as I think there has to be an alternative. I think that I may have a pinched nerve because mt sciatica and my groun hurts me when I try to walk and also on my left hand my 2 fingers are numb. Should I may-be go see a chriopractor and may-be he could manipulate me a little to get me more mobile if it could be a pinched nerve or a pulled groain. Do you think that a chripractor could do me some good or should I go to a neuroskeletal doctor.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

No orthopedeician in this world can advise surgery without seeing your xrays or scans etc, so please send me the report of your xrays or scans I will guide you further after seeing them.

Chiropractor can not do, what the doctor can do, so do not waste your time and money.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
