What is Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)?

It is a "restless" urgency to move because of burning, tingling, tugging sensations in the legs.  People can not sleep and loose sleep because of it.  

This syndrome is becoming increasingly more popular and people really don't know what to do about it.  Sitting for long periods of time and sedentary lifestyles have begun to take its toll on the hips, low back and legs leading to symptoms of RLS and Sciatica.

How can Restless Leg Syndrome be healed?

Pelvic adjustments by a chiropractor as well as in some cases the legs and feet has decreased the frequency of these sensations and most times keep them at bay for good.  

Good posture, exercise, soft tissue work and cold laser can increase blood flow and relax the legs and hips.  

What triggers Restless Leg Syndrome?

• Caffeine

• Alcohol

• Tobacco 
  
  These all exacerbate restless leg syndrome so, like always, keep off the junk food, drink lots of water and take care of yourself!  Make sure your Iron levels are where they should be.  Low levels show increases in RLS.
