I would recommend a good supportive belt. Worked wonders.for me, even though the Physio said mine was pretty severe. Belt was a life saver. But I still had to finish work at 33weeks, coz some days it was just horrible. I could barely walk. I tried walking down the street once and could barely make it home the pain was so bad, I had to keep stopping. I saw a chiropractor who got me fitted for a correct belt and taught me how to fit it correctly. He also showed me a few tricks for when the pain was real bad.

Do you know what brand your belt is? I've been looking at the Serola one online...there's not a whole lot of info on them though.
I'm trying to decide whether I'm gonna go chiro or physio. I've seen about 8 physio's over the last few years for other issues and none of them seem to help and I do have a chiropractor who helps a bit but I'm a little weary with going to him whilst pregnant. Not sure why...I think it's because doctors generally don't like chiro's (particularly my doctor!) and I like to do things by the book when I'm pregnant - I put my trust in western medicine! Is there any reason why you picked chiro or did you try both?
I got referred to a physio once I had DD1, and then continued to see her - my hip had popped out and rotated so that made my pain worse, so it was probably best I saw a physio anyway.
Then I moved states and I went to a physio and he said he didn't believe SPD existed (I'm sure you can imagine what I thought of him) so I went and found a chiro who did believe it was a problem and she was great. I found women more sympathetic towards the problem than any male.
So no, I didn't have any specific reason for choosing them, it was just the way it went. I do think some care providers are better than others. Whereabouts are you located? maybe someone in here can refer a good person.
