Restless Leg Syndrome occurs when you experience discomfort or twitching in your legs, leading to an irresistible urge to move, stretch, or jiggle them. It can occur during the day or night, affecting people of all ages. If it disturbs your sleep at night, it can lead to sleepless nights. If you have restless leg syndrome but prefer not to take medication to alleviate the symptoms, consider seeking relief from your leg pain with the help of our chiropractor at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness in Lake Worth.

Causes of Restless Leg Syndrome

The exact cause of restless leg syndrome can sometimes remain unknown. However, it can be linked to an interruption of dopamine in your brain. Additionally, neuropathy or nerve damage, which can be caused by conditions like diabetes, can contribute to the development of restless leg syndrome. Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy, can also lead to acute restless leg syndrome. Even substances like alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine can be contributing factors.

Chiropractic Techniques to Address Restless Leg Syndrome

Upon conducting a thorough examination, our chiropractor will inquire about the circumstances when restless leg syndrome occurs. If it happens during the day, it may be related to your sitting posture and the ergonomics of your work environment. Our chiropractor may suggest changes to provide relief if the syndrome is due to tension on specific nerves.

For nighttime occurrences, our chiropractor will focus on improving your sleep quality. Chiropractic techniques used to address restless leg syndrome may include spinal realignment, heat therapy, office and home exercises, stretching, and massage therapy.
