Assessment for pain, tingling or numbness into the leg.
Pain, tingling, numbness or weakness can have several possible sources. ChiroRelief assesses the pattern and behaviour of symptoms before discussing chiropractic care and spinal decompression options.
Symptoms can include pain that travels into the buttock or leg, pins and needles, altered sensation, heaviness or weakness. The distribution and triggers provide useful information during your assessment.
02
Neurological assessment
Your chiropractor may assess strength, sensation, reflexes, neural sensitivity, spinal and hip movement and changes with different positions or activities.
Existing imaging can be reviewed when relevant, while new imaging is recommended only where clinically indicated.
03
Possible sources
Nerve-related leg symptoms may be associated with disc-related changes, narrowing around neural structures, irritation outside the spine or other medical causes. A broad assessment helps avoid assuming that every symptom is sciatica or a disc problem.
04
Spinal decompression within your treatment
Spinal decompression is offered as part of general chiropractic care at ChiroRelief, unless contraindicated after assessment.
No. Tingling can have different causes. Your clinician considers where it occurs, how it behaves and any other symptoms before discussing a likely explanation.
Can I bring existing scan results?+
Yes. Bring relevant scan images or reports you already have. Your clinician will consider them alongside your symptoms and examination.
How do I book an assessment?+
Use the Book an appointment button for PracSuite or phone reception on 02 9550 6094. Mention your leg symptoms when you book.
