It’s all connected. The spine, the hips, the
knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In new studies, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief
of lower limb pain and weakness in addition to imbalance are explored.
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has noticed such relief. The research contributes
to the discussion with such Tonawanda chiropractic patients
that there’s hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Tonawanda chiropractic patients seek care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation with typically one pain issue and do
not even note other issues until we uncover them
together during the spinal examination. We are manytimes
detectives together! The chiropractic exam can discover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that frequently are painful
or weak and, thankfully, also resolve with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is often disregarded
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One study
reported that a single spinal manipulation enhanced
muscle strength (for a half hour) and corticospinal excitability
(for 60 minutes) to ankle plantar flexor muscles in Taekwondo
athletes. (1) Another study of spinal manipulation’s effect on
lower limb strength of healthy people showed immediate boost
in muscle strength after just one treatment. The chiropractic
spinal manipulation treatment helps relieve the pain and increase
the lower limb weakness. The effect is found to be immediate
with just one spinal manipulation. For patients with hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even bigger. (2) Patients at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation have enjoyed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Tonawanda chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances in whom one leg seems stronger than the
other have noticed relief with their Tonawanda chiropractic
spinal manipulation, also. They may realize they have it
or don’t realize it until we complete the exam together.
Once found, limb strength imbalances of at
least 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion treated
with spinal manipulation got better compared to placebo
treatment. These strength improvements were recorded after just
one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization boosted
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive outcomes for our Tonawanda chiropractic
patients!
