Many spinal problems create the appearance of a short leg. Over time this can begin to create stress and tension on the muscles, bone and nerves.
Try this simple test:
- Have the person wear their shoes and lie across a bed,
- Face down, with arms relaxed at each side.
- Bend both legs and return them so that the bottom of the shoes are hanging over the side of the bed.
Look for these early warning signs:
- Compare the bottoms of the shoes side to side?
- Are either of the legs longer that the other in length?
- Is there uneven wear on the sole of the shoes?
A difference greater than ¼" in this position is clinically significant. Uneven leg length is a common sign of spinal problems and nerve involvement.This indicates the need for a more thorough examination in our office.
"Yes" responses indicate postural deviations that often respond to care.
