Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Williamson Leg Pain Right or Left
Right leg. Left leg. Sciatica (aka leg pain) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Williamson chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic helps alleviate leg pain and addresses the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Apple Country Chiropractic guides Williamson 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? Yes! Did you know that the left leg grows longer in right-handed people and the right leg grows longer in left-handed people? Not 100% of the time, but research documents this differeence. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that there are more people with longer left legs (53%) than right legs (39%). Incredibly, just 8% of people have equal leg lengths. (1) How does that influence 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 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 experience left leg pain. Another curious 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 Williamson chiropractor can spot a short leg pretty simply by examining three 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 Williamson chiropractor to see 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, right?) At 5 years post- non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was noted. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%. (5) Apple Country Chiropractic provides pain easing non-surgical care of Williamson leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR Williamson LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then remember the new 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) Apple Country Chiropractic 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 longer periods without leg and back pain.
