Physical therapy can be a tremendously effective treatment when dealing with leg pain. Physical therapy can be helpful for strengthening and minimizing possibilities of injuries in the future. Leg pain can be linked to the following:
- Trauma- Leg pain can arise from tendonitis and muscle strains.
- Arthritis- Depending on the type and severity of arthritis, your leg may be experiencing pain during movement or even at rest.
- Nerve Irritation/Sciatica- When there are issues with ligaments, muscles, or tendons, you may also experience leg pain as a result of pressures in nerves that extend to the legs.
