Back pain and leg pain are two of the most common—and most misunderstood—conditions people face today. Whether it feels like a dull ache in your lower back, a sharp shooting pain down your leg, or numbness and tingling into your hip, these symptoms are often connected. The good news? You don’t have to live with the pain, and you don’t have to rely on medication or surgery to get relief.
At Keith G. Ryan Chiropractic, PLLC, we specialize in non-surgical solutions for back pain, leg pain, and sciatica that get to the root cause—not just the symptoms.
Why Back Pain Often Leads to Leg Pain
Many patients are surprised to learn that leg pain often starts in the spine. When the discs, joints, or nerves in your lower back are irritated or compressed, the pain can radiate into the hips, glutes, or down the leg.
Common causes include:
- Sciatica / Pinched Nerve
When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed—often by a bulging or herniated disc—it sends pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg.
- Disc Bulges or Herniations
These put pressure on nerves, creating back pain, leg pain, and even foot weakness.
- Degenerative Disc Disease
As discs wear down, the spine becomes unstable, causing inflammation and nerve irritation.
- Facet Joint Dysfunction
These small joints in the spine can lock up, creating sharp or aching pain that radiates outward.
- Muscle Imbalances
Tight hips, weak core, or glute dysfunction can all contribute to low back and leg pain.
No matter the cause, the key is accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment—something we pride ourselves on.
How We Treat Back and Leg Pain at Our Tulsa Clinic
We take a multi-therapy, results-driven approach that works exceptionally well for both acute and chronic pain.
- Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, precise adjustments restore proper alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and improve mobility. Many patients feel relief after their very first visit.
- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Our state-of-the-art decompression tables (Kennedy technique) gently stretch the spine, creating space for discs to rehydrate and heal.
Perfect for:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Degenerative disc disease
This therapy is one of the most effective ways to avoid injections or surgery.
- Class IV Laser Therapy
Laser therapy reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and speeds the healing of injured tissues. Combined with adjustments or decompression, it accelerates recovery dramatically.
- Corrective Exercise & Soft Tissue Work
We help restore balance, flexibility, and strength so the pain doesn’t return.
