7 Top Causes of Nerve-Related Leg Pain Revealed | Dr. Tam Ly, Chiropractor in San Jose, CA

Описание: 7 Top Causes of Nerve-Related Leg Pain Revealed | Dr. Tam Ly, Chiropractor in San Jose, CA

Nerve-related leg pain often is not caused by a disc problem, even when it feels sharp, burning, or electric. Pain patterns change depending on where a nerve is irritated, narrowed, or compressed along its path. Different causes create different triggers, pain paths, and relief patterns. Correctly matching the pattern helps guide the next step instead of guessing.

This applies to people with leg pain that shoots, tingles, burns, or goes numb. Many people are told all nerve pain is sciatica, which leads them to focus only on discs and stretching. In many cases, leg pain can come from spinal narrowing, deep glute nerve irritation, nerve entrapment near the knee or ankle, or conditions that mimic nerve pain. These causes behave differently and respond to different strategies.

Nerve-related leg pain follows repeatable patterns. The starting point of pain, what makes it worse, how it travels, and what calms it down often reveal the source. Disc-related pain often changes with bending or sitting. Spinal narrowing often worsens with standing or walking. Peripheral nerve entrapment can create very local symptoms. Circulation problems may feel like nerve pain but follow activity-based limits. Relief usually comes from addressing the specific mechanism, not random exercises.

In this video, you will learn:
1- How to recognize the main causes of leg pain using symptom patterns.
2- How nerve-related leg pain differs from circulation and muscle-based pain.
3- How to use a simple checklist to decide what to do next.
