Herniated Disc
There are discs between the bones of the spine that act as shock absorbers and aid in movement. Sometimes, as a result of aging, an accident, or a physical trauma, an injured disc can bulge onto a nerve or the spinal cord. The result is pain, numbness, or even weakness in the legs. In severe cases, surgery is required, but most cases can be managed with alternative treatments like a chiropractic adjustment.
Sciatica
Leg Pain is sometimes the result of a pinched sciatic nerve, the large nerves extending from the lower back, through the buttock, into the leg. Sciatica is not a diagnosis itself; the term refers to the set of symptoms a person experiences when the sciatic nerve is compressed. Various causes included a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or even pregnancy. Although surgery is an option, spinal manipulation has proven effective for treating acute sciatica.

Restless Leg
Although medical professionals do not know on the exact cause of Restless Leg Syndrome, the condition manifests itself as a recurring, persistent discomfort in one or both of your legs. Whether the pain is more tingling, numbness, or burning in nature, relief is usually only achieved by movement. The condition usually presents in the evenings or overnight, resulting in impaired sleep. Chiropractic care is a safe, effective alternative to prescription drugs, using spinal manipulations to restore the connection between the brain and muscle movement to treat Leg Pain.
