How Your Spine Could Be Hurting Your Leg

Leg pain can originate from several reasons that start in your spine. Your spinal cord is what carries the signals between your brain and your limbs, so if there is any damage to these signal pathways, your brain will be sure to let you know.

Usually, if you are experiencing leg, hip, or other lower body pain and suspect it originates from a back problem, you are dealing with a lumbar spine issue. Your lumbar spine is the section from your middle back to your hips. Many things could be causing your pain such as foraminal stenosis, spinal stenosis, or maybe a disc has been ruptured and is compressing a nerve.
