I have leg nerve pain. Can a chiropractor help with leg nerve pain?

Often times yes but they don't learn sacral mechanics. If a chiropractor is not effective search out an Osteopath who practices Osteopathic Manual Medicine.
Absolutely. The National Institute of Health advises that chiropractic treatment is the best first treatment for low back pain and nerve pain that goes into the legs.
Yes, a chiropractor can provide temporary relief from leg pain caused by nerve impingement, but you should see a primary care provider in order to find out the root cause of the nerve irritation that is causing the leg pain. Finding the underlying problem is the key to long-term relief.
Yes, but at the same time can hurt you. Make sure they have full knowledge as to where the nerve pain is originating from and that they are familiar with and trained in treating such with chiropractic maneuvers. Otherwise, you could wind up getting worse instead. 
Hi there and sorry to hear you are experiencing this pain. Yes, Chiropractic care is non-invasive, conservative care. It would be wise to bring in with you the different studies/reports you may have such as x-rays, MRI's, or CT's. Having these will allow the Chiropractor a chance to see the extent of any bony changes or tissue damage and will help in the treatment plan.

Thanks again and good luck!
