Lower leg illnesses can cause VA leg pain. The pain might not be harmful, but it can also be serious. You can narrow down the the list of leg disorders you may be suffering from if you’ve had a history of trauma, overuse, of disuse of the legs. In older patients, leg pain (specifically of the calf area) should always suggest the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. Leg swelling from trauma or muscle strain is very similar to that of thrombosis. This makes it hard to determine cases of this life threatening leg disorder.
Among those who are athletic, over exercising can cause leg pain. Biomechanical imbalances at the foot level will often strain the calf musculature resulting in leg pain.
Your chiropractor, Dr Steven Trauben DC, will have all patients undergo orthopaedic and neurological testing, as well as diagnostic radiography, to find the underlying cause of the leg pain. A personalized treatment regimen will be developed by the chiropractor specifically for you.
