The Spinal Connections: Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Delivers Spinal Manipulation Which Shows Lower Limb Strength Improvement
It is all connected. The spine, the hips, the knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In newer studies, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness as well as imbalance are explored. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has noticed such relief. The research contributes to the talk with such Tonawanda chiropractic patients that there’s hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Tonawanda chiropractic patients visit Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation with usually one pain issue and don’t even notice other issues until we uncover them together via the spinal exam. We are manytimes detectives together! The chiropractic examination can uncover clues to the condition at hand, clues that frequently are painful or weak and, thankfully, also resolve with chiropractic treatment. Lower limb weakness is manytimes overlooked by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report stated 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 improve the lower limb weakness. The effect is reported to be immediate with only one spinal manipulation. For patients who experience hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength improvement is even bigger. (2) Patients at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation have noticed just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Tonawanda chiropractic patients with limb imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the other have found relief with their Tonawanda chiropractic spinal manipulation, too. They may know they have it or don’t realize it until we go through the exam jointly. Once found, limb strength imbalances of at least 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion treated with spinal manipulation improved compared to placebo treatment. These strength improvements were recorded after just one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization improved hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are positive results for our Tonawanda chiropractic patients!
