How to Fix a Short Leg – Dr. Berg

Dr Berg, you are a gem! Over the years your advice has been invaluable. Thank you

Thank You !!

I know this video is very old but I don't know where else to find help. My right hip is higher, and tighter the right leg is also longer too. Not shorter

My chiroprator said my left leg was qute a bit shorter than my left leg and show the difference in the x-rays by my pelvic being highter on the left side. He gave me a heel lift to put on my left side. Years ago a chiropractor I worked for also gave me a heel lift and Foot Levelers. Why don't most chiropractors don't know what you are saying and have you put the heel lift on the short side??? I will change the lift to the right side, what you say makes sense.

How do stretch the leg by yourself?

How do you keep the muscel from going back into gaurded position? as this correction method done once with assistance will not hold the correction.
.

I hope you still look at the comments on your old videos. Do you have any suggestions on doing this alone? Is it sufficient to tie something around your own ankle and pull?

That is stupid how can I do it by meself ...why didnt you show that instead. I kn ow why becasue you dont have an answer for it like a lot of docotors,

Is there a way to do this if you don’t have someone to pull your leg.

How do you do it own your own?

Why i am late here,Thank you Dr.Berg🙏

Thank you that really made my legs the same size

Thanks.

Just tried this with my teen daughter and now her knee hurts really bad. Use caution

My 4yo boy has a short right leg. Do you think, that this exercise can helps if a tibial bone in the "long leg" is 0,7" shortest than the other one? Is the short tibial bone can be a side effect of pelvis asymetrie? Thanks in advance

Heres one for you.
I recently had XLIF back fusion.
My left leg is 3/4"
longer, any thoughts about this Dr.Berg

Please tell me you have an office in Toronto lol

looks simple and seems work ok. I'll try. Surprising thing, you pull the normal leg.

this is amazing!
i am from taiwan and really hope more people see this video

You said we can do this by ourselves, but you were pulling on the man’s leg, so how can we do it by ourself with no one pulling our leg? Thanks.

What about if several fractures have left you with a shorter leg? You have to have a heel lift 'cos nothing will lengthen the shorter leg, right?

How do I do this by myself? I have awful SI joint pain on the side of my "longer leg", my left leg. Would love if this actually will address the problem!

The left leg is shown to be the one that is short. He says stretch the long leg, but actually pulls and stretches the left short leg. Or am I missing something here?

I dont agree with it, some people truely have a short leg due to short bone in one leg or pelvic area and it will not go bcz its not a musle issue, its a bone issue and for that only heel lift works or bone surgery to reduce length of longer leg.

What non - sense this doesn't work at all

Dr Berg, probably is a once in a lifetime Doctor!!
I have never come across anyone with this kind of approach and perspective and that effective almost all the time.. In all his videos

Basically, a short leg is a symptom of another underlying problem.

Can this apply to structural or true leg length discrepancy?

Dr Berg can you get a short leg due to no cartilage on the right hip ?

What happens when you play any sports when you have a long and a short leg?pls give me an answer

Could that cause hernias

how do we do this stretch on our own?

I’m going to try this. I’ve had shorter leg for over 50 yrs.. Thought it was because I’m from TN. 😂

My tight QL is on the long leg side. Perhaps I have glute imbalance issue.

It really works like magic wooooow Thanks 👍

it didn't work for me , but i tried to stretch the leg by myself.

Exactly how am I to do this myself?? How can I pull my own leg ?

How often to do this

Hi you are saying leg getting shorter after a incident, my question is can the leg get longer after a incident, my leg got longer by 2 c/m after a hit to my leg?

Wow, I did it and it works!! How often shall we do this execise? Once a day?

You are absolutely correct with the heel lift -- despite doc recommendation! Lift made my condition worse. Thank you for your skill and wisdom. Great Gratitude! 😇

How do I do this exercise by myself? Thank you

Thanx alot

You missed the part about saying Hocus pocus first.

Podiatrist just scammed me smh

Wow! I'm going to try this! I hope it works because I've been using orthotics that were adjusted by 3/4 of an inch . My back seems to be bothering me over the years & now I'm wondering if it's my orthotics??? I was told I have scoliosis. Will this help me?????

Anybody watching this, check to make sure whether your problem is anatomical or functional. Lay on your back, bend your knees, and line your feet us at the heel. Then put something flat on your knees. If it's slanted, you do actually have an anatomically short leg, and all these back and hip exercises won't help you.

All these "short leg" videos that start off by telling me I don't have a short leg. grr.

dr. Berg question you say that the twolegs would even out. what my leg cannot be evened out I had five total knee replacement and the last surgery there was a fracture so they had to cut the bone so it left me half an inch shorter on my right leg so I cannot walk evening I'm not balanced to walk there is no way that I can get the right leg to straighten out to match the left leg so can you clarify this because of my right leg is two inches shorter and the bone has been cut so there's nothing to match up with the left leg how do I get that done I have not been able to walk properly for The last 5 years. so this is conflicting to me so can you clarify please thank you

I just did ten stretches on my long leg and it fixed my legs which are now same lengths.
