5 Tips to Ease Your Autumn Stress

The "Short Leg" and Low Back Pain


The Short Leg and Low Back Pain

"A short leg, or leg length inequality, can and often does cause an imbalance in the lower back. A leg length deficiency most often is a contributing factor in the causation of lower back pain.

With leg length inequality there will usually be pelvic tilting. The side of the lower pelvis will correspond to the short leg side. With a pelvic tilt the sacrum will tilt as well. Now there is no longer a level base for the spine to rest on. Therefore, the lumbar spine will usually curve toward the short side. This will create what is commonly known as a right scoliosis or right curvature of the lumbar spine.

Your eyes are always trying to remain level with the ground.
