Chiropractic Treatment for Leg Pain
Most people do not realize that chiropractic care not only treats lower back pain but can also treat shin splints, leg cramps, tendonitis, sciatica, and upper and lower leg pain. Here at Makefield Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Newtown, we are here to treat patients with whatever leg pain they may be experiencing. Leg pain is usually caused by accidents, sports injuries, health problems, poor diet, or lack of exercise. We can treat leg pain with chiropractic care, corrective exercises, heat and cool therapy, massage, and nutritional counseling.
Chiropractic Care for Leg Pain
Our chiropractor will take a look at your medical history, perform a physical exam, and possibly take X-rays to determine the cause of your leg pain. Once the cause of the pain is determined, we will suggest a combination of therapies to treat the condition. Leg pain is commonly a result of disc problems, nutritional deficiencies, muscle cramps, side effects from medications, subluxations, muscle fatigue, or personal injury. There are different types of chiropractic care that our doctor is trained in using to treat your leg pain.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Manual therapy applies hands-on chiropractic care to the muscles, back, legs, tissues, joints, shin, ankles, and feet to reduce pain, increase motion, and increase blood flow. It involves massaging, kneading, and stretching muscles and soft tissue. Moist heat packs or ice packs often follow the therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. A drop table is a technique that involves using a special table that moves up and down to treat leg pain while improving the patient’s range of motion.
Corrective exercises are often used to help with leg pain. We will design an exercise plan for you to do at home or in the office that best fits your needs. Nutritional counseling can help improve health and reduce leg cramps by keeping to a special diet and taking supplements. We will design an exercise program that will help heal your leg pain with nutritional counseling. We can treat injuries from work, auto accidents, sports, or any situation the patient experiences.
