Piriformis muscle pain
Hi I've been having this pain in my lower back for 6 years now due to a gym accident...I have general flexibility but the pain is always there. I get tingling sensation till my toes. But not too much . I don't think exercise is going to work. Amd I don't think surgery is required from what 99% doctors told me. I feel I need a chiropractic session where they find out the muscle knots and remove them. Slowly

Chiropractic adjustment will help.
Relax, and then repeat with the other leg.
Repeat this cycle 2 to 4 times. Lie on your back. ...
Cross your left leg over your right so that your left ankle rests on your right knee.
Use your hands to grab hold of your left knee and pull it gently toward the opposite shoulder. ...
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds.

To be sure of the origin of the pain it will be helpful if you can talk a little bit more about your symptoms, like when does it start, how does it stabilize, how severe is it, what's your level of physical activity with and without pain, any sensory loss or any weakness in the lower body... The tingling in the toes can be neural (mobility or inflammation related) or trigger points in the muscles of the hip.
You can reach out to me for further assistance!
Next Steps
home therapy : neural mobility workouts, stretching, physical activity, foam rolling.

High velocity thrust is not a good idea.
However spinal mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation, exercises could help.
