Leg Length Discrepancy or Short Leg 

Leg Length Discrepancy or Short Leg can be measured and contribute to postural imbalance and joint pain. Imagine driving a car that is out of alignment. Now imagine walking around being equally out of symmetry. The majority of short legs are functional - they are due to spinal, pelvic or lower extremity joint (or muscle) misalignment. A smaller percentage of leg length discrepancies are due to an anatomical reason - literally a short leg. Leg length imbalances can be corrected by custom orthotics with or without a lift, foot, ankle or pelvic adjustments can also make a difference.
