Do you experience chronic, recurring low back pain, hip soreness, or unexplained knee pain that treatments never seem to fully resolve? The root cause often lies in a fundamental imbalance at your body's foundation: Leg Length Inequality (LLI), or anatomical short leg. When one leg is even a few millimeters shorter than the other, it causes the entire pelvis to tilt and rotate. This pelvic obliquity forces the spine to curve (functional scoliosis) and shifts your center of gravity, accelerating wear and tear on every joint from your ankle to your skull.
This condition compromises the integrity of your entire kinetic chain, making long-term stability impossible. At Limitless Chiropractic, we treat LLI as a critical structural disorder. We utilize advanced, weight-bearing X-ray analysis and precision measurement, the gold standard in LLI diagnosis—to quantify the exact discrepancy and guide a corrective, long-term solution.
The symptoms of undiagnosed LLI are widespread and often mistaken for other conditions: chronic sciatica, knee osteoarthritis, recurring hip bursitis, and persistent postural strain. This structural imbalance forces your body into a constant state of compensation. The short leg causes joints to compress, while the long leg is over-stretched, creating muscular and ligamentous imbalance.
To correctly manage LLI, accurate measurement is non-negotiable. Our method goes beyond tape measure approximations; we use specialized X-ray analysis to differentiate between an anatomical short leg (a true bone length difference) and a functional short leg (caused by pelvic misalignment). This distinction is vital because a functional short leg requires Corrective Chiropractic Care, while an anatomical short leg requires the precise use of a heel lift.
