Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Manahawkin Leg Pain Right or Left
Left leg. Right leg. Leg pain (aka sciatica) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Manahawkin chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps decrease leg pain and addresses the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center leads Manahawkin leg pain and back pain patients to pain relief with chiropractic care.
SCIATIC LEG PAIN: Right Leg or Left Leg
You have heard of right-handed people and left-handed people, right? Of course, you have! 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. Bearing 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 owing to a variety 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 leg pain on the left side. Another curious point: hip pain often arises on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg and 11.1% short leg. Sciatica, too: 78.5% occurs on the long leg side vs 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Manahawkin chiropractor can see a short leg pretty simply by checking three things: iliac crest, the verticality of the spine, and levelness of the posterosuperior iliac spine dimples. Researchers stated that there is a strong relationship between visual and xray measurements. (4) Trust your Manahawkin chiropractor to find a short leg…and address 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. Forty-six of the 75 cases experienced radiating leg pain: 46 cases on the left and 29 on the right. (Makes sense now, yes?) At 5 years post- non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was seen. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center provides relieving non-surgical care of Manahawkin leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR Manahawkin LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then recall the new paper regarding the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care: Maintenance care decreases the number of days of pain in acute back pain episodes and raises the length of pain-free periods between recurrent back pain episodes of persistent back pain. (6) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here for those back pain and leg pain patients looking for fewer back and leg pain days and those who want to live life with fewer periods of leg and back pain.
