LEG Pain

Leg pain can have many causes, from local issues in the legs themselves to problems originating in the lower back. Our comprehensive approach identifies the true source of your pain.

Leg pain can slow you down and make it tough to enjoy even the simplest parts of life—whether it’s walking the dog, standing at work, or getting through your day without discomfort. Sometimes the pain starts in the legs, but other times it’s connected to issues in the lower back or hips.

At Clifty Falls Chiropractic in Madison, IN, we’re here to figure out what’s really going on and help you feel like yourself again. Our office takes the time to listen and create a treatment plan that works for you—so you can move with ease, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things that matter most.

Sciatica is one of the most common forms of leg pain, characterized by pain that radiates from the lower back down the back of the leg. This condition occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated. While the pain is felt in the leg, the problem often originates in the lower back.

  • Herniated Disc – When the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer and presses on nearby nerves, it can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates down the leg.
  • Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine, causing pain that may worsen with walking or standing.
  • Piriformis Syndrome – The piriformis muscle in the buttock can sometimes compress the sciatic nerve, causing symptoms similar to sciatica.
  • Spondylolisthesis – When one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, it can compress nerve roots and cause pain that radiates down the leg.

When even the smallest spinal misalignment occurs, it can cause communication between nerves and the shoulder to be disrupted, setting off a chain reaction of complications. It is possible that what looks to be pain of the shoulder is actually relayed pain from the spinal column.
