Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is more than just an annoyance—it’s a neurological condition that can rob you of restful sleep and peace of mind. At Patients Medical in NYC, we believe that RLS is a signal—not just a symptom.
Instead of just masking discomfort with prescriptions, our functional and integrative approach focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of your RLS—many of which can be addressed through natural methods, lifestyle changes, and personalized care.
RLS is a nervous system disorder that creates uncontrollable urges to move the legs, especially in the evening or at night. These sensations are often described as tingling, crawling, pulling, or aching, and they interfere significantly with sleep and quality of life.
Key Signs of RLS Include:
