KIIS FM’s Kyle Sandilands, 47, has revealed new details about his recent health woes after he was absent from his golden microphone again on Tuesday.
During Sydney’s Kyle & Jackie ‘O’ show on Wednesday morning the shock jock explained he took a third day of sick leave because he experienced a frightening leg length discrepancy.
The controversial radio host said he discovered the scary side-effects during a kinesiology treatment, which historically combines ‘muscle testing’ with massage of acupuncture zones or meridians.

‘He (kinesiologist) fixes you up. He said my leg was one and a half inches longer than it’s supposed to be. My whole back was out. I was a wreck!’ Kyle revealed.
‘I couldn’t be here I had a bad headache (and I was) vomiting!’ Kyle added.
The Sydney radio star explained the therapist restored balance to his misaligned body and now he’s ‘better.’

‘There was a little big of manipulation…and now I’m better!’ Kyle said.
‘Now your leg is short again?’ Jackie remarked.
‘Not short but they’re both the same length…both the same size,’ Kyle explained.
Is everything OK? Beau Ryan fills in for KIIS FM shock jock Kyle Sandilands, 44, as he calls in sick amid ongoing health issues with high blood pressure
Kyle called in sick on Tuesday morning, leaving regular fill-in Beau Ryan to step in on for the third time in five days.
Kyle’s first day off last week came one day after the reigning FM breakfast champions lost their top spot to WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda.
However, he denied to The Daily Telegraph that his absence had anything to do with ratings, telling the publication he was ‘crook’ and dealing with side affects from his new medication.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph this week, the 47-year-old said that he felt ‘dizzy’ after suffering side effects of a new blood pressure medication.
‘I stumbled off the gutter and was laying across the bonnet of the car just trying to get my bearings,’ he revealed. ‘I was stumbling around like I was drunk.’
‘I felt really dizzy on (last) Wednesday morning in the shower,’ he continued.

‘I sat down for 20 minutes and it was getting worse. There was no way I could drive, I was too unsteady. Then I got worse and worse.’
Kyle addressed the controversy around his shock absence after returning to work on Friday.
‘Stop looking, I’m not missing,’ he said on-air. ‘[Apparently] I was missing for days… We all know I was just sick.’

Kyle added that he wasn’t at all fazed by coming second in the ratings to WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda and he told both Amanda Keller and Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones ‘good on ya!’ for their success.
NRL star Beau Ryan filled in for Kyle on Wednesday and Thursday while Jackie O kept references to her co-host’s absence relatively brief.
Despite health issues, Kyle has vowed to continue his unhealthy habits, such as smoking and eating bacon.

‘I’m a fat bastard, I don’t give a s**t. I’m on medication for life,’ the 47-year-old told the Daily Telegraph.
‘The tablets mean I can do what I want – where’s the bacon?’ he added, referring to his blood pressure medication.
The shock jock explained that he’d taken a few days off work because he’d adjusted his blood pressure medication, leaving him dizzy, and also came down with a bug.
Kyle then lit a cigarette, the paper reports, and said: ‘I don’t give a damn about dieting. I smoke about 25 a day.’
