Leg pain refers to pain that occurs anywhere between the hips and the ankles. Leg pain directly affects mobility, so finding a quick cure is what one generally goes in for. Leg pain can arise from various causes like an injury, issues related to muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and blood flow.
Homeopathy offers the safest and highly effective treatment for cases of leg pain. It goes to the core of the issue to treat the underlying cause of leg pain and promote complete recovery. It offers help in acute as well as chronic cases of leg pain. Along with relieving pain in the leg, it helps to manage associated complaints like stiffness and swelling in leg and joints. Spraying pain relievers, applying ointments and popping in pills may help temporarily, but the root cause of leg pain is far from tackled. Homeopathy has proved effective in curing the symptoms as well as the underlying cause for leg pain, without any side effects as homeopathic remedies are made of completely natural substances.
Homeopathy treats root cause
The homeopathic treatment for leg pain not only acts as a pain reliever, but also targets the underlying cause of leg pain. By addressing the root cause, excellent results are seen. With a proper course of treatment as suggested by a homeopath, complete cure is achieved in most of the cases. It is also to be noted that the results may vary from case to case based upon the cause, duration and intensity of the complaint.
Individualized Medication
In homeopathy, medicines for leg pain are selected individually for every case. The most suitable medicine is selected by taking into consideration the characteristic symptoms, nature of pain, worsening and relieving factors, any associated symptoms and the cause behind the pain. After medicine selection, the potency and dose of the medicine is finalised for every case. Hence it is advised to always take any homeopathic medicine under the supervision of a homeopathic doctor for best results and self-medication should be avoided.

Causes of leg pain
Leg pain can happen from different reasons. First cause can be cramps in legs which are involuntary contractions of muscles, mainly calf muscle (muscle of the back of leg), causing pain. Cramps in legs mainly occur at night. The second cause is injuries including muscle strain, tendon inflammation, sprains (twisting or rupture of tendons). The third cause may be arthritis (inflammation of joints) like osteoarthritis (it mainly results from age related degeneration of the cartilage usually in the knee), rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation) and gout (inflamed joints from high uric acid levels).
Another cause may be sciatica. Sciatica is a severe nerve pain felt in the lower back that extends down to the back of thighs and further down the leg, even to the feet. It usually affects one side. The cause is irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve between the herniated spinal discs.
Another reason could be varicose veins. Varicose veins is a condition in which the veins, especially of legs, get enlarged, tortuous and congested due to accumulation of excessive blood in them. This is because of the weakening of the valves in legs. Further causes are shin splints and growing pains. Shin splints refers to pain in front of the leg over the shin (tibial) bone. Shin bone is a long bone of the front of the leg that extends between the knee and ankle. Shin splints are common in athletes due to extreme stress while playing. Growing pains occur in children during their growth period and are present in the front of the thighs or the back of legs. They are worse at night and better during daytime.
