Leg Numbness or Pulling
Tingling or pulling down the leg often means nerve irritation from disc, stenosis, or piriformis/nerve entrapment. We need to localize it to treat correctly.
Clues to the source
- Worse with bending/sitting; eased by standing → disc-related.
- Worse with walking/standing; eased by sitting → possible stenosis.
- Worse with prolonged sitting or running; buttock pain → piriformis/entrapment.
Red flags: weakness, bowel/bladder changes, or progressive numbness need immediate care.
How we treat
- Circulation HD to free nerve entrapment and reduce inflammation.
- Circulation PT for hip hinge, core stability, and gait coaching.
