Leg Length Discrepancy

It is not uncommon for one leg to be shorter than the other for a variety of reasons including a structural deformity, a malpositioned pelvis and /or muscle tightness.

Chiropractic

A chiropractic examination will determine the underlying cause of a leg length discrepancy. Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to the pelvis correcting postural stress and reducing the difference in leg lengths. Soft tissue techniques such as trigger point therapy and active release help to relax tight muscles that may be affecting the alignment of the pelvis that result in a short leg.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy relaxes the muscles surrounding the joints in the pelvis. This allows the pelvis to move freely and reduces any restricted motions. This reduces any pelvic malpositions and leg length discrepancies resulting from pelvic rotation.
