Chiropractic care is not just for
spinal health. Chiropractors are also interested in treating other health problems, such as treating leg pain. While not as common as back pain, leg pain can still have a major impact on a person's life. Everyone needs to have functioning legs to walk and do their daily activities. That is why it is important to get leg pain treatment as soon as possible.
Types of Leg Pain
Leg pain can be classified as neurological, vascular and musculoskeletal. If the pain is musculoskeletal, then it is caused by bone, muscle or joint damage. Neurological pain is caused by nerve damage. Sciatica is an example of neurological leg pain. Vascular leg pain occurs when blood flow is disrupted. Atherosclerosis is a vascular condition that can cause leg pain.

How Chiropractic Care Can Treat Leg Pain?
