Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Largo Leg Pain Right or Left
Right leg. Left leg. Leg pain (aka sciatica) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Largo chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc helps decrease leg pain and focuses on the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Hollstrom & Associates Inc guides Largo 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? 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 has it documented in pretty high percentages. With this in mind, it is not surprising that more people have longer left legs (53%) than right legs (39%). Amazingly, just 8% of people have equal leg lengths. (1) What role does that play in which leg will have sciatica? 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 interesting point: hip pain often arises on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg and 11.1% short leg. Sciatica, too: 78.5% happens on the long leg side vs 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Largo 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 stated that there is a solid relationship between visual and xray measurements. (4) Trust your Largo 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, right?) At 5 years follow-up after non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was seen. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%.

RELIEF FOR Largo LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then recall the recent paper about the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care: Maintenance care decreases the number of days of pain in acute back pain episodes and increases the length of pain-free periods between recurrent back pain episodes of persistent back pain. (6) Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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.
