leg length inequality?


Nothing serious but occasionally inconvenient. Slight discomfort on right lower back and hip. When doing leg lifts you can hear a pop when bringing leg down. Just want to know some self help exercises that might help. I know a chiropacter can fix it but can't afford one every time it happens.

What you need to do is have your S/O,or a friend pull on that leg for you just like the chiropacter would do!! Plus leg lifts,one at a time,with you hand putting pressure on your shin,to help hold it tight!! Hold for 4 minutes,rest 1min.&do it ten times a day!!!  (+ info)

Leg length?


Ive been told my left leg is fractional shorter then the right. Ive noticed this as well and its irritating me. Im only 16 so do you think that my legs are growing at different times or is it because my left leg is more dominant and so i put alot of pressure on tht leg.

I jus want some reassurance that in the future the distance in leg wont get bigger. Do you think the slight difference can cause them do be more of a difference?

Thanks.

If this is a confirmed piece of medical information from an appropriately qualified doctor, and here I mean an orthopaedic surgeon, not a GP, and not some gibberish that you have been told by some dubious alternative therapist such as a chiropractor or osteopath, it is potentially quite important.

Even a minor difference will cause a spinal tilt which will lead to arthritis of the spine in later life. If it is a valid condition I assume there will be a management plan. If the information has come from one of the doubtful sources that I have suggested it can probable be discarded, or you could seek advice initially from someone with at least a medical degree like your GP.  (+ info)

How do you correct functional leg length discrepancy?


I'm almost 18 years old and I've been complaining of leg length discrepancy and SI joint pain for the past 3 years now, unable to run or anything since then.. I've had x-rays done on the full length of both my legs, and my actual bones are perfectly equal in length, yet i still have a leg length discrepancy of almost two centimeters due to obliquity in my hips. No doctor can seem to help me, does any one know what could be causing this or how to correct it??

no surgery  (+ info)

Maybe you should get leg extensions.  (+ info)

What's your height and leg length?
(I've always wanted long, lanky legs, the better to walk/run fast with etc, but am i a big potato?)
----------

I am 5'10" tall, I have a 34 inch inseam. I have long legs, but I am short waisted. With a 33 inch inseam, I would say you ARE long legged, with a short waist.  (+ info)

What does it mean when your pelvis is 'tilted' due to a leg length discrepancy?


I have a leg length discrepancy, tilted pelvis, and scoliosis... All of which are related. How do I fix this and what does it actually mean? Is my pelvis tilted to one side? Any information about this topic is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
----------

okay im no expert but believe me i went through this because they thought it was what was wrong with me but it wasn't so anyways..
what it means is that your pelvis on one side is tilted either up or down making one leg seem longer than the other. the hip bones that stick out on your torso...hold them and slightly rotate one and see how it makes one leg longer thats what it is (don't hurt yourself trying) its easier to have a physical therapist (pt) show you. im not sure if you will have to go to pt or wear a lift..i had to do both so i would go to your pt and ask them about it.  (+ info)
