Yes indeed!

In fact, a very recent study that compared spinal manipulation (chiropractic) against microdiskectomy (surgery) in patients with sciatica caused by lumbar disk herniation found that 60% of patients with sciatica who had failed other medical management benefited from spinal manipulation to the same degree as if they underwent surgical intervention.
