Are Short Legs REAL?
In this video, Dr. Todd discusses the topic of short legs, and FINALLY demonstrates hope to accurately identify and measure them. Now this isn't necessarily to discuss how your pants fit and how this affects your fashion wear, but it is relevant for that as well!
Others have done videos entitled: “5 things to avoid if you have short legs” , “Long torso short legs” and “How to look taller”.... In this video, we will be covering the clinical significance; how this affects your health!
Whether in the field of Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, or Personal Training, when the topic of leg length discrepancy comes up, the question is always: “is there an actual long leg present or is it the SI joint”? Dr. Todd covers these topics and more, such as: how to test for leg length, how to determine if you have an actual log leg, the most reliable methods to obtain leg length measurement, scoliosis (curve in the spine), foot pronation (flat feet), back pain, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and foot pain.

As a young kid who was very active and I always had right knee pain. It was bad enough that I started wearing a brace to all my soccer practices and games. My doctor told me just to continue wearing the brace, but didn't bother with any other interventions. When I finally found out I had a 14mm short right leg and started wearing a lift in my shoe, my pain almost entirely went away. Great video educating those who don't understand how life changing a heel lift can be!
Really interesting to learn about short legs in children and how important it is to fix the abnormal weight shift off of the short leg side to allow for that leg to “catch up” and even out to equal length as the other side.
I really appreciate today’s presentation Dr. Todd, and it was very informative as well. I have a PI-EX on my right leg. I will come in to your clinic for a proper evaluation after getting my “Full Spine” X-ray; which by the way, is only done at a “TRUE” Gonstead Chiropractic clinic like yours.
I recall you telling me I have a short leg... We're going to talk about this on my visit lol.

yes, lets get that squared away- note: not everybody with a short leg is a candidate for intervention.
Great info Doc! Thanks for clarifying such an important topic. X-rays are important. Good stuff :)

Hello, Doctor, I want your opinion about my case, if possible. I had an anatomical difference in the right leg that was 1.5 cm longer because of a knee injury when I was a child. I used special shoes for this problem, but it did not help. I underwent several surgeries on the right knee, the ACL twice, and the meniscus. several months ago I had a leg lengthening surgery on the left leg to , but I still feel that the right leg is longer in the sleeping position, the right one is longer, and when sitting, it is also the longest. Is it possible that the dependence of all these years on the left leg makes it shorter to the point that even when you treat the anatomical reason, there is a functional reason that makes the leg short? According to CT images, the length is equal
