Restless legs
Restless legs are usually blamed on a deficiency of magnesium, which is often true, however in many cases it can also be attributed to a problem in the lumbar region of the spine.
This area needs to be treated very gently using osteopathic decompression techniques.
Compressed nerves in the lower lumbar area will also cause aching
lower limbs and often very hot, burning feet. You need not have a painful back for this to be the case.
More often than not the lower back very gradually becomes compressed through years of standing upright, lifting, carrying etc.
As people get older the discs between the vertebrae become less pliant and do not regain their shape as they do in younger people and therefore remain compressed but without pain unless a sudden movement causes a severe muscle spasm.
See page on ‘Back pain – general information’.
In some instances, as previously mentioned the problem is compounded by a
mineral deficiency. In most cases taking Colloidal minerals regularly will be
sufficient but at times an extra magnesium supplement may also be needed.
