leg pain

Leg pain can arise from various sources, such as sciatica (where a nerve in your spine is trapped), issues in the hip or knee, or even problems with blood flow to the leg.

 

Our first step is pinpointing the root cause of your pain. We employ a range of orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose any potential sciatic issues. For many patients, manipulation techniques have proven beneficial in alleviating sciatica [1] [2, 3] [4].

As a chiropractor, one of our key concerns is whether there’s any nerve compression affecting the bladder and bowel functions. It’s crucial to assess this for patients experiencing sciatica and reporting issues like numbness in the pelvic area. If you’re in such a situation, it’s advisable to seek urgent advice at Accident & Emergency (A+E), as it could be a condition known as ‘cauda equina syndrome’, which might require surgical intervention.

 

Leg pain can stem from various sources including the hip or knee. We often employ manual therapy and rehabilitative exercises to address these issues [5] [6] [7]. In some cases, we also utilise acupuncture techniques [8] [9], although the research on its effectiveness is varied [10] [11].

 

If you notice your leg feeling cool or have difficulty feeling pulses in your ankle, or if there are recurring infections in your nailbeds, it might indicate circulation problems. This can cause pain in the lower leg, especially during walking. Sometimes, distinguishing this pain from that caused by spinal stenosis can be challenging. Spinal stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal due to degenerative changes in the lower spine, which can compress exiting nerves. This condition is more common among older patients and can be quite complex to manage. Typically, initial treatments for this type of leg pain include physical therapies [12].

This clinic has literally changed my life. I originally went there because I could hardly turn my head: reversing the car was really difficult! The clinic fixed my problem and I now go regularly to keep things in good shape. The annual check is also very useful and it is good to get the reassurance that there isn't much wrong despite my advancing years. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic to anyone.

I have been a patient of Andrews for more than 15 years. He is always very friendly and welcoming, he takes time to ask you how you are and listens to your concerns. His holistic approach including acupuncture, massage and manipulation if necessary have certainly helped to keep me fit and active.

We have been going to Abingdon and Andrew for 30 years. He is always so professional and helpful. He diagnosed an issue via ultrasound for me and set me in the right direction for help. Would totally recommend this clinic and the fantastic staff.

I live in Malaysia but visit Abingdon every year. I had heard very good things about the Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic but I didn't realise how true they were until I had my first appointment with Andrew today! I was amazed at how professional and at the same time how friendly he is. The appointment didn't feel hurried and he took a wholistic approach. He discovered something about me in a few minutes that I hadn't known in my 61 years!! So wherever in the world you are from, if you're ever near Abingdon and need a chiropractor, look no further than the Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic. I thoroughly recommend it!
