What Causes Leg Pain? 

There are many causes of leg pain, including age, disease, injury, and repetitive use. Some patients experience leg pain when sitting or standing too long. There are various forms of leg pain, including muscle cramps, shin splints, tendinitis, nerve pain, and sprain.

How Can a Chiropractor Help with Leg Pain?

Seeing a chiropractor can help with leg pain by treating the root cause of the pain and not masking the symptoms with addictive pain medications. In addition, chiropractic care can help treat and prevent leg pain by focusing on the musculoskeletal system, helping ensure everything is aligned. For example, keeping the spine aligned can help with leg pain, including sciatica and lower back pain.  

Can Sciatica Cause Leg Pain? 

Sciatica is caused by an injury to or pressure placed on the sciatic nerve. Patients who experience sciatica can also experience pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling in the leg. The pain and discomfort might worsen after standing, sitting, at night, or bending over. 

Symptoms of Leg Pain

Symptoms can differ from patient to patient. Leg pain can be dull or sharp, and some patients might experience a tingly, numb, or burning sensation. Some patients might also experience discomfort in the lower back, along the spine, and the foot. Other symptoms of leg pain may include swelling, redness, and stiffness.
