Relieving Chiropractic Care Relief of Montreal Leg Pain Right or Left
Right leg. Left leg. Sciatica (aka leg pain) will affect either leg (and sometimes both). Montreal chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic helps decrease leg pain and addresses the spinal source of the sciatica at the same time. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic leads Montreal 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 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. Bearing this in mind, it is not surprising that more people have longer left legs (53%) than right legs (39%). Amazingly, only 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 due to a variety of issues like uneven stresses on the disc’s anulus. 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 occurs on the long leg side, too: 88.9% long leg vs 11.1% short leg. Sciatica, too: 78.5% occurs on the long leg side versus 21.5% on the short leg side. (2,3) Your Montreal chiropractor can spot a short leg pretty simply by checking 3 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. (4) Trust your Montreal 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. 46 of the 75 cases experienced leg pain radiculopathy: 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%.

RELIEF FOR Montreal LEG PAIN and BACK PAIN
And then recall the new paper about the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care: Maintenance care decreases the number of painful days in 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here for those back pain and leg pain patients looking for fewer days with back and leg pain and those who would like to live life with fewer periods of leg and back pain.
