Dear Dr. Aaron,

My husband has been complaining (well, let’s be honest—whining) that one leg feels longer than the other. He keeps saying, “My left leg is too long!”

So, for the past three days, he’s taken matters into his own hands—literally—and has been putting the heel of his boot on the belt sander trying to “even his legs out.”

I told him maybe what he actually needs is an adjustment, not a power tool. Can one leg all of a sudden become longer? He’s a grown man, after all!

Please advise before he runs out of heels—or common sense.

😂

Sincerely,

A concerned (and slightly amused) wife

Dear Amused,

😂 Oh boy… tell your husband to step away from the belt sander!

The good news is, it’s actually very common to feel like one leg is longer than the other — but in most cases, it isn’t because a leg suddenly grew overnight. More often, it’s caused by a pelvic misalignment or tight muscles that make one side of the body sit higher than the other.

A simple chiropractic adjustment can usually even things out quickly (and safely — no power tools required!). So before he starts customizing any more boots, have him come in for a quick check-up. We’ll make sure he’s standing level and walking straight again.

😉 We fix leg-length problems the safe way — no sandpaper needed!
