Leg length discrepancy treatment
The Attention You Deserve
Often, leg length inequality is a finding that gets little to zero attention. At Structural Chiropractic, we evaluate the entire patient and if a leg length inequality of 3mm or more is present, it can often cause changes in the structure and function in other areas of the body. Sometimes a simple insert into your shoes is a solution. Other times, it is not an anatomical discrepancy, but the result of an imbalanced pelvis or over pronated foot. A custom orthotic may be the answer.
While some leg length inequalities are simple fixes, they are often a combination of imbalanced pelvis and anatomical changes. It takes a well trained doctor to know how to properly manage a patient presenting with leg length inequality.
Structural Corrective Chiropractic
We address the structural issues of the spine in order to influence the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls all functions of the body, thus our care can have far reaching results.

FAQs
Each leg length inequality is different and it requires an individualized care plan and specific treatment to avoid any further structural damage. A complimentary consultation is a great start to finding a path to relief.
Best method of measuring leg length inequality is a test called a scanogram. A scanogram is simply an xray of the leg bones from top to bottom and measuring the xray. All other methods come with a great degree of error.
Leg length inequality is best treated by first improving function of the joints of the low back and feet. After that, a heel lift or custom orthotic is the best way to correct and protect you from the conditions mentioned above.
