Causes and Treatments of Leg Pain and Numbness

Leg pain, along with tingling or numbness in the legs or feet, can be debilitating when it is frequent or severe. Patients with leg pain may have difficulty walking, sleeping, driving or performing day-to-day activities. The doctors at DFW Laser Spine Institute in Dallas specialize in diagnosing and treating pain so patients can regain their quality of life.

What Does My Leg Pain Mean?

Persistent pain in the legs can often be traced to a root cause within the spine. The human spine and the associated nerves and ligaments form a complex system that can affect the entire body. Pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg may be caused by issues in the lower back. If you struggle with frequent leg pain, legs that “give out”, or other discomfort in the legs, ankles, or feet, you may benefit from seeing an experienced spine specialist.

Types of Leg Pain Symptoms

Numbness or Tingling in the Legs
Most of us have had the experience of having our leg or foot “fall asleep”, but if the feeling of extreme tingling or numbness is not an occasional or temporary occurrence, it may indicate lower back issues.

Radiant or Burning Pain in the Legs
Pain that feels searing, electric, or feels like it is shooting down your leg can be particularly unbearable. This type of pain may be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body and runs from the lower back to the foot.

Weakness or Impaired Mobility
Some patients with back issues that manifest in the lower body experience a frequent weakness or heaviness in the legs or feet that can impair mobility. Spine specialists are experienced in treating patients who experience weakness in the legs which can make daily tasks difficult.

Leg Pain That is Constant
Constant leg pain is often begins in the buttocks area and can feel dull and aching or like a throbbing pain that radiates through the legs. This type of pain can be caused by several lower back issues.

Leg Pain That Changes With Movement
Paying attention to which positions or movements trigger your pain can help your medical team accurately diagnose your cause of pain. Patients may experience pain only when sitting, only when standing, only when walking, or only in certain postures.
