Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), which is defined as a creeping or burning sensation that comes with uncontrollable leg movements, affects millions of people around the world. Research has been making leaps and bounds with this disorder in recent years, and as a result if you're seeking help there are several different angles to consider:
  • Neurology RLS is often genetic, so the neurologist will look at your family tree, in addition to doing blood tests and possibly prescribing prescription medication.
  • Sleep One the of the biggest life areas affected by RLS is sleep. Activity (such as walking) often helps, or keeping yourself occupied in other ways, like with crosswords or games. In some cases prescriptions medications may also help.
  • Naturopath Taking natural approaches to improve your body's circulation may help relieve RLS symptoms. Herbs, hydrotherapy treatments, and even simply getting enough calcium in your diet everyday can make a big difference.
