These are not the only causes of leg pain, though they are some of the most common. Dr. Llaird Likens will help you figure out exactly what is causing your leg pain and then provide treatment so you can feel relief and get back to a pain-free life!

Remedies for Leg Pain

We hope you’ll give us a call and set up an appointment today to help you with your leg pain. In the meantime, we want to provide you with a few common home remedies that might reduce your leg pain.

Ice your leg – After an injury, strain or sprain, you can use ice to reduce pain inflammation.  

Rest and elevate – If you’re experiencing leg pain, you might need to limit your movement and exercise. Resting and elevating your leg can help with blood flow and inflammation. 

Take a warm bath – A warm bath, particularly with Epsom salt, can help you relax and reduce your pain levels as well. 

When to See a Chiropractor for Leg Pain and Pain Management

If you find those home remedies do not take your leg pain away, you should consider coming in to see Dr. Llaird Likens. Other reasons you should come in include: 

Your leg starts to get numb and discolored.

Your feet start to swell up.

The pain gets worse by the day and is accompanied by joint pain.

You notice varicose veins.

Those symptoms are a definite sign you should seek care. In case of an emergency, head to the ER. Otherwise, visit the Navarre Chiropractic Center for a thorough examination and treatment plan. You can reach our office at 850-939-3339 to book an appointment.
