The “Short Leg” Myth: Why It’s Not the Root of Your Pain
Being told one of your legs is “shorter” than the other might sound like a convincing reason for back or hip pain—but it’s not. Research shows small leg length differences are normal, have no link to pain, and yet people spend crazy amounts of money chasing lifts, inserts, and quick fixes that don’t work. The truth is, pain is more about how you move, load, and recover—not about millimeters of difference in your legs.

The real key to lasting results lies in movement and education: building strength, improving mobility, and understanding your body. At Momentum Spine and Sport, we combine adjustments with active strategies that keep you in control of your health.
