Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Tonawanda Leg Pain Right or Left
Left leg. Right leg. Sciatic leg pain will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Tonawanda chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps alleviate leg pain and addresses the spinal cause of the sciatica at the same time. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation leads Tonawanda leg pain and back pain patients to pain relief with chiropractic care.
SCIATIC LEG PAIN: Right Leg or Left Leg
You’ve heard of right-handed people and left-handed people, right? Yes! Did you know that the right leg grows longer in left-handed people and the left leg grows longer in right-handed people? Not all the time, but research documents this differeence. With this in mind, it is not surprising that there are more people with longer left legs (53%) than right legs (39%). Amazingly, only 8% of people have equal leg lengths. (1) What role does that play in which leg will have sciatic leg pain? Discs will bulge into the concavity of the curve due to a range of issues like uneven stresses on the anulus of the disc. The concavity of the spinal curve is on the long leg side. A right-handed person with a long left leg will likely experience left leg pain. Another curious point: hip pain often arises on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg and 11.1% short leg. Sciatica is the same: 78.5% arises on the long leg side versus 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Tonawanda chiropractor can spot a short leg pretty simply by checking 3 things: iliac crest, the verticality of the spine, and levelness of the posterosuperior iliac spine dimples. Researchers stated that there is a solid relationship between visual and xray measurements. (4) Trust your Tonawanda chiropractor to find a short leg…and take care of any related disc herniation causes of pain!
DISC HERNIATION RE-ABSORPTION WITH NON-SURGICAL CARE
A new study examined 75 cases of ruptured lumbar disc herniation. 46 of the 75 cases experienced radiating leg pain: 46 cases on the left and 29 on the right. (Makes sense now, right?) At 5 years post- non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was found. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%. (5) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation provides relieving non-surgical care of Tonawanda leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR Tonawanda LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then remember the recent paper about the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care: Maintenance care reduces the number of days of pain in acute back pain episodes and increases the length of pain-free times between recurrent back pain episodes of persistent back pain. (6) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready for those back pain and leg pain patients seeking fewer back and leg pain days and those who want to live life with longer periods without leg and back pain.
