The Bryan College Station chiropractor believes that leg pain can result from the misalignment of the spine. If the spine is out of alignment nerves can become inflamed through constant irritation which can lead to muscle spasms and pain in the legs. The hips and legs have to support the whole body and provide stability which is why the legs and hips undergo a great amount of stress.

A ball and socket joint connects the hip an leg. The area of connection is protected by cartilage which cushions the area during normal moving and flexing. If the cartilage wears down and the bones do rub against each other, a condition known as arthritis will develop over time as the bones wear against each other.

People who sit for long periods of time, especially when they sit in an improper posture, can suffer painful leg condition. Improper posture can cause a disc in the vertebrae to slip and even rupture. A crack in the vertebrae disc will cause vertebrae nucleus to actually leak.

People who experience a slipped disc can also experience leg pain because the slipped disc pushes against nerves and tissue in the spine. A slipped disc can lead to leg weakness which might be relieved through chiropractic therapy such as spinal adjustment. Chiropractors are able to readjust the spine which can help the disc return to its normal position which can help relieve pressure from the spine.

Leg pain can of course occur after a person has taken a fall. But if the pain does not subside after a few days and is accompanied with numbness then a person should seek medical care. The leg might be only sprained but there might also be a fracture in an area of the bone.

A Bryan College Station chiropractor can help to determine the cause of painful leg syndrome which might by helped by a spinal readjustment. Chiropractors use only natural healing therapies in their practice and do not rely on pain medications to help mask their patient's symptoms. Many insurance plans are paying for chiropractic care as more people are turning for help to alternative medical therapies.
