The Long and Short of It: Understanding Leg Length Discrepancies

By S21 GMB • June 23, 2025
When your pants always seem uneven or one shoe wears out faster than the other, it might not be your laundry or the way you walk — it could be a leg length discrepancy. But before you panic or break out the measuring tape, let’s break down what this actually means and how chiropractic and massage therapy can help even things out (literally and figuratively). There are two main types of leg length discrepancies: anatomical and functional . While they may present similarly — hip imbalances, lower back pain, uneven walking patterns — their root causes (and therefore their treatments) are very different. Let’s dive into the difference between the two, how we diagnose them, and how your friendly neighborhood chiropractor or massage therapist can help.

At Peak Performance, we see lots of patients who are sidelined by this pesky knee pain. The good news? It’s treatable, manageable, and very often preventable. Let’s dive into what Runner’s Knee actually is, how it occurs, how to treat it, and how to keep it from coming back.

Children are constantly growing, learning, and exploring the world around them. From their first steps to their time spent in school and on the playground, their bodies undergo continuous physical stress and development. While pediatric health often focuses on nutrition, vaccinations, and regular checkups, spinal health is sometimes overlooked.
