Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of San Jose Leg Pain Right or Left
Left leg. Right leg. Sciatica (aka leg pain) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). San Jose chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions helps ease leg pain and focuses on the spinal cause of the sciatica at the same time. Chiropractic Solutions leads San Jose 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 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, 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 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 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, too: 78.5% occurs on the long leg side and 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your San Jose chiropractor can spot a short leg pretty simply 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 San Jose 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 reported on 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 Solutions delivers pain easing non-surgical care of San Jose leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR San Jose 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 in 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) Chiropractic Solutions is here for those back pain and leg pain patients wanting fewer days with back and leg pain and those who would like to live life with longer periods without leg and back pain.
