Have you experienced sciatica? What kind of treatments worked for you?

I am dealing with what I am pretty sure is sciatica. I have an appointment on Friday to have it checked out. If you have dealt with this, what type of treatment were you given and how well did it work? I am asking because there is a ton of information out there and lots of different treatment options. I want to get as much information as I can before I go in. Did anyone go the chiropractic route? Did it help?
