Leg Pain
The cause of most leg pain
is improper weight balance from the upper
part of
the body. If you lean forward, backwards or
to one side in the standing
position, it will cause the involuntary
muscles in the legs to contract and
tighten to maintain balance. Prolonged
contraction of these muscles will cause leg
pain. Another example of this uneven weight
distribution is seen in the advanced stages
of pregnancy. The increased weight in the
abdomen causes lower back muscles to
contract resulting in back pain and leg
pain. These same symptoms can also be caused
by abdominal obesity. Abnormal spinal
curvature in children during their growing
years can cause an uneven distribution of
weight on the lower extremities, causing
pain.
Because most of the weight of the upper body
is supported and suspended from the spinal
column. It is important to have spinal
adjustments to restore normal balance with
equal weight distribution to the legs.
Besides the pain, structural imbalances can
cause the lower spinal bones to
become misaligned. This misalignment can
cause the sciatic nerve, which runs down the
legs, to become irritated and inflamed. This
inflammation is called sciatica and is very
painful.
Chiropractic adjustment can help with
sciatica by readjusting the spinal bones and
relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
This allows the inflammation to go down and
restore proper energy flow through the
nerve.
