Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Minster Leg Pain Right or Left
Left leg. Right leg. Sciatic leg pain will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Minster chiropractic care at Minster Chiropractic Center helps reduce leg pain and addresses the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Minster Chiropractic Center leads Minster 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 has it documented in pretty high percentages. 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) How does that impact which leg will have radiculopathy? Discs will bulge into the concavity of the curve owing to a variety of issues like uneven stresses on the disc’s anulus. The concavity of the spinal curve is on the long leg side. A right-handed person with a long left leg will likely have left leg pain. Another interesting point: hip pain often occurs on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg vs 11.1% short leg. Sciatica is the same: 78.5% occurs on the long leg side and 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Minster chiropractor can see a short leg pretty easily by examining 3 things: iliac crest, the verticality of the spine, and levelness of the posterosuperior iliac spine dimples. Researchers noted that there is a strong relationship between visual and xray measurements. (4) Trust your Minster chiropractor to find a short leg…and take care of any related disc herniation sources of pain!
DISC HERNIATION RE-ABSORPTION WITH NON-SURGICAL CARE
A new study studied 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 noted. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%. (5) Minster Chiropractic Center provides relieving non-surgical care of Minster leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR Minster LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then recall the recent paper about the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care: Maintenance care reduces the number of painful days for acute back pain episodes and increases the length of pain-free periods between back pain episodes in patients with recurrent and persistent back pain. (6) Minster Chiropractic Center 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 fewer periods of leg and back pain.
