Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Juneau Leg Pain Right or Left
Right leg. Left leg. Leg pain (aka sciatica) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Juneau chiropractic care at Aurora Chiropractic Center helps decrease leg pain and focuses on the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Aurora Chiropractic Center guides Juneau 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? Of course, you have! 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 documents this differeence. Bearing 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) How does that impact 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 leg pain on the left side. 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% arises on the long leg side versus 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Juneau chiropractor can spot a short leg pretty easily by examining three 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.

DISC HERNIATION RE-ABSORPTION WITH NON-SURGICAL CARE
A new study studied 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, yes?) At 5 years post- non-surgical treatment, a “reabsorption” phenomenon was found. The excellent and good rate of disc reabsorption was 73.24%. (5) Aurora Chiropractic Center delivers pain easing non-surgical care of Juneau leg pain and back pain.
RELIEF FOR Juneau LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then recall the new 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 recurrent back pain episodes of persistent back pain. (6) Aurora Chiropractic Center is ready for those back pain and leg pain patients wanting fewer back and leg pain days and those who want to live life with longer periods without leg and back pain.
