If the numbness is caused by disc, nerve, joint or muscle, then yes.
Yes, chiropractic can help with the numbness of the leg based on your diagnosis and progression of the problem.
That really depends on the cause of your leg numbness. Regardless, if you are having leg numbness, you should see a professional that will take a detailed history and do a thorough examination to uncover the cause of the numbness. Once the underlying cause is established, treatment recommendations can be given.
yes
It always depends on the cause of the numbness-neuropathy, ‘pinched nerves,’ anesthesia injury, etc. Different chiropractors may have different techniques to address these. I specialize in a technique that helps to rehabilitate nerves and we often get great results with numbness.
Yes, Chiropractors are very well trained in conditions which cause leg numbness.
If the numbness in the leg is rooted in the spine such as a misalignment of a bone, that can be helped or corrected by Chiropractic treatment. If it is because of a vascular problem, that may be handled better by a vascular specialist. Either one of those practitioners should be able to help you narrow down what is causing the numbness, then it’s simple to apply the appropriate therapy/treatment. If your condition is not urgent, get several opinions. Start with your primary doctor, as they can help you decide if the condition is medically urgent, such as a blood clot, deep vein thrombosis, as that may require emergency approach. Please have this quickly evaluated. Early Intervention !

Yes, if there is impingement of a nerve root, it can respond well to conservative care before surgical intervention is necessary.
It really depends on what is causing the numbness. I would recommend having an evaluation to determine the cause of your numbness.
