Our body is a system, it works in harmony through the correct balance and transfer of information from your lower limbs to upper limbs and visa versa, depending on the task at hand.
This photo shows the common chains we use and how a leg injury may affect your back or neck or shoulder as they work as one functional unit.
If one part doesn’t pull its weight another part must take up the workload. Over time this will become painful (symptom). Treat the cause (dysfunction) and the symptoms will settle down themselves
