Symptoms of a Short Leg

Uneven legs or a lateral pelvic tilt can cause many different symptoms including sciatica, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and ankle instability.

In addition, you may notice that your shoes wear down faster on one side or that your dress, shorts or pants fall differently between left and right.

Other symptoms related to a short leg can include:

• An obvious observance of one leg being longer than the other
• Poor posture
• Problems with gait (manner of walking)
• Balance problems or clumsiness
• Pain in the lower back, hip, ankle or knee

Other than one hip being higher than the other, the presence of a lateral pelvic tilt can have a drastic effect on the entire body. It can throw off alignment from the ankles, knees, pelvis, low back and even your shoulders.

This is exactly why it’s so important to determine if you have one and more importantly correct it sooner than later.
