To Alleviate Suffering Discover How A Lakeland Chiropractic Office Helps Hip And Leg Pain

By Samital Leah Zerna


The joint allows the hip to have a wide range of motion. The leg is moved by the muscles when they exert force. If those hip muscles are strained, you may experience hip pain ranging from moderate to severe. There is a Lakeland FL Chiropractor available to alleviate that pain.

Muscle strain may be caused by excessive use, an accident or prolonged time sitting at a desk. Another cause may be a degenerative disease such as arthritis. While not necessarily severe enough to be disabling, it can cause significant pain.

There is a source of leg pain named sciatica. It is so named for the thick nerve running down the back of each leg. Five smaller nerves begin in the lower spine and branch out down the leg, to the foot and toes. The pain of sciatica usually affects only one leg. It may hurt all the way to the toes.

Sciatic pain results from irritation of that nerve, a subluxation or a herniation of a spinal disc. One or more of the vertebrae are out of position and compressing a nerve during subluxation. Herniation occurs when one of the intervertebral discs bulges out and is pinched between two vertebrae.

Help is available in the office of your chiropractor. Start the process by making the first appointment. There will be an assessment of your condition to identify the cause of the pain. A discussion will ensue and you will be examined physically. Following the assessment, a plan can be made for your care. It usually begins with a series of spinal adjustments and may include massage and mild exercises.

The objective is to return the spine to the correct alignment. This is done by applying a series of spinal adjustments. As the vertebrae are returned to the correct position, the pressure on the nerves is lifted. The herniation will begin to heal. As the severe pain is alleviated you can regain the good quality of life you once enjoyed.
