AN A-Z OF LUMBAR OR PAIN AND LEG PAIN: RESTLESS LEGS
It only take a slip in the garden, on the street, on the playing field or while bushwalking to come down — thump! You recover your balance with a laugh, but several days or weeks later, you start suffering restless legs and cramping.
Chiropractors solve restless legs and cramping at night by correcting the pelvis. Adjusting the sacrum or sacro-iliac joints if they are out of alignment always fixes the problem.
The ‘clicking’ sound of a chiropractic adjustment is fun and after the first surprise usually gets a laugh.
To a practitioner, the most important physical action is to check the pelvic balance. You wouldn’t believe how often this is the only treatment required.
Do yourself a favour. Have a pelvic check up and see if that is the problem. Your chiropractor/osteopath will speedily tell you, yes or no. Not being able to settle in bed, or sit down without the jerking, is not funny.
Acupuncture works well for leg tension too. Nutrition: tea drinking can be a culprit. Iron, folic acid, vitamin B or E deficiencies all need checking in restless leg syndrome; and remember to use homoeopathic causticum if this is suitable for you.
