Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Fort Wayne Leg Pain Right or Left
Right leg. Left leg. Leg pain (aka sciatica) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic helps reduce leg pain and focuses on the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic leads Fort Wayne 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? Sure! 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. 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 radiculopathy? 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 have leg pain on the left side. Another interesting point: hip pain often arises on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg versus 11.1% short leg. Sciatica, too: 78.5% happens on the long leg side and 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor can measure 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 wrote that there is a solid relationship between visual and xray measurements. (4) Trust your Fort Wayne 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 studied 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, yes?) At 5 years post- non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was seen. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%.

RELIEF FOR Fort Wayne 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 raises the length of pain-free periods between back pain episodes in patients with recurrent and persistent back pain. (6) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is ready for those back pain and leg pain patients looking for fewer days with back and leg pain and those who want to live life with longer periods without leg and back pain.
