As highly trained and experienced healthcare providers, Effective Integrative Healthcare is well versed in a wide array of painful conditions our patients must seek treatment for to alleviate their discomfort.

Chronic leg pain can affect your ability to walk and enjoy life, so we provide a broad range of treatment options to target the source of your pain and relieve it. Depending on the details of where the pain originates from and how you developed this condition, one or more of many therapies and exercises can help reduce or eliminate your discomfort. We will examine your physical condition and review your medical history to identify a possible underlying cause and then create a customized treatment plan for your specific needs. Our treatment centers serve patients in Crofton and Millersville, MD with leg pain and put their comfort and long-term well-being at the forefront of our concerns.

Common Symptoms & Causes of Chronic Leg Pain

You can experience leg pain in any part of your leg, including your foot, ankle, thigh, behind your knee, and down the back of your leg. At Effective Integrative Healthcare, we have provided leg pain treatment for all these areas and others, so we understand no two patients have the same specific condition. Leg pain can occur because of injuries or afflictions affecting your muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, skin, blood vessels, or nerves. Many people experience leg pain at night while going to sleep, while others feel pain when running or exercising, and they might feel pain in one or both of their legs. Tissue inflammation is the most typical cause of leg pain, usually resulting from an injury or disease like diabetes or arthritis. A wide array of chronic conditions and injuries can cause leg pain since the leg contains many tissue types and structures. Pain isn’t the only symptom you can experience because of a chronic condition. Patients with chronic leg pain may also have symptoms like cramps, numbness, weakness, throbbing, aching, or a tingling sensation.

Chiropractic Care & Other Chronic Leg Pain Treatments

Effective Integrative Healthcare’s collection of therapies and treatment options encompass a broad range of leg pain symptoms and causes. If you have leg pain caused by diabetes or an injury, we can evaluate your condition to determine which treatment options will work best to relieve your pain. For instance, our chiropractor care for leg pain can effectively target issues with your spine or musculoskeletal system. Your pain might originate from a damaged or pinched nerve, such as sciatic nerve pain, or a vascular condition might be affecting your blood vessels. Our healthcare professionals can match you with therapies to alleviate your symptoms, including options like massage therapy and acupuncture. After a physical examination and other possible steps like X-rays, we can target your source of leg pain and perform therapies designed to treat your specific condition.

Exercises to Help Relieve Leg Pain

Outside our treatment centers, you can perform various exercises to help relieve your leg pain. Effective Integrative Healthcare recommends taking informed action on your own combined with our therapies to address your condition. We’ve provided some examples of exercises you can do when dealing with various forms of leg pain:

 

  • Shin Stretch – For shin splints, kneel on the ground with your toes pointed with the tops of your feet on the ground. Sit back on your heels until feeling a light stretch down your shins. Stay in this position for 30 seconds and then rest.
  • Calf Stretch – Start this stretch by sitting on the ground and putting your legs straight out in front of you. Place a yoga strap or long towel around the balls of your feet and gently pull on the strap or towel to point your toes toward your body while keeping your knees and back straight. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds while breathing naturally, and then release it.
  • Hamstring Stretch – Sit on the ground with your legs straight and in front of you. Keep your back long and chest open while bending at the waist. Stretch forward and slide your hands toward your feet on the floor. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds.
  • Quadriceps Stretch – Hold onto a chair or wall for balance and stand on one leg while lifting your other leg off the floor. Gently bend your raised leg at the knee and pull your foot close to your buttock. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds, and then perform it with the opposite leg.
  • Inner and Outer Legs Stretch – Start this stretch with your feet facing forward and should-width apart. Step out your left leg into a lunge and bend your knee to a 90-degree angle without letting your knee go past your toes. Straighten your right leg while lowering into the left side. Put your hands on your left thigh and hold this stretch for 30 seconds while keeping your back straight. Straighten back to a standing position. Perform this stretch on the opposite leg and repeat the process four times.
