Experiencing shooting pains, muscle weakness, or numbness in the legs is not normal for healthy adults. Improving these symptoms can start with consistent chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors can work with your muscles and spine to better align your body which will improve many physical ailments you may be experiencing. Elevate Wellness works hard to treat leg pain, neck pain, spinal issues, and even headaches with chiropractic treatment. Proper alignment will help your body to communicate properly and limit pinched nerves. Below are some reasons that you should check for what a chiropractor can do for your leg pain.
1- Improve Movement
The biggest benefit for patients when seeking chiropractic care is improved range of motion and flexibility. Improving motion is important for leg pain because they are your main source of movement through tasks. Leg pain can make it hard to walk, which slows you down from doing many daily activities. Chiropractic care can improve nerve function and muscle fatigue which makes walking and exercising easier.
2- Stop Shooting Pains
Nerve pain or sciatica can also cause symptoms in your legs. Treating leg problems may require treatment in other areas of your body before you see relief in other areas. Chiropractic adjustments are great for shooting pains in conjunction with leg pain because they help limit pinched nerves or locked joints.
3- Prevent Other Injuries
When leg pain is affecting your function, exercising or playing a sport can become dangerous. Straining your muscles can lead to injury when you do not utilize chiropractic care. Spinal adjustment can alleviate pressure on your nerves which will help alleviate leg pain. Interferences with your nervous system affect your whole body and may not be helped with just over-the-counter medication.
Limiting future injury and pain is important when you continue to experience leg pain. Adding more weakness on top of what you are already experiencing is the last thing you want to experience. Continue on the path to recovery with chiropractic care with Elevate Wellness.
4- Nerves And Other Syndromes
While not all nerve issues or injuries are related to the legs, some of the following syndromes can affect your legs.
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Restless leg syndrome
Chiropractic treatment can help improve symptoms of these diagnoses. Patients with the above ailments often experience leg injuries and seek help for their pain. Our chiropractors at Elevate Wellness can help patients with many types of pain and work to learn the underlying cause of your issue rather than just offering a short-term solution.
Working with patients with leg pain can be a simple fix or a larger underlying issue with your nervous system. Some basic causes of leg pain include dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, muscle cramps, or ankle injuries. Chiropractors will work to determine the cause and only provide treatment if you truly need it.
5- Muscle Strains
Overuse of muscles can cause irritation and pain long after workouts or physical activity. Muscle strains can be a higher risk if you are dehydrated or low on certain vitamins. Doing stretches before strenuous activity will help stop overworking and prevent serious injury. Chiropractic care can help with this stretching and is extremely beneficial for those who play professional or school sports.
Chiropractic care helps your body to heal naturally even from the smallest injuries. When your nervous system is working properly and your spine is aligned, your body can heal naturally without surgery or strong medications.
