It’s all connected. The spine, the hips, the
knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In newer published
articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief
of lower limb pain and weakness in addition to imbalance are explored.
Most Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research contributes
to the talk with such Murfreesboro chiropractic patients
that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients come
to Most Chiropractic Clinic with usually one pain issue and do
not even note other issues until we find them
together during the spinal exam. We are often
detectives together! The chiropractic exam can uncover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that often are sore
or weak and, thankfully, also resolve with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is manytimes unnoticed
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One study
reported that a single spinal manipulation enhanced
muscle strength (for 30 minutes) and corticospinal excitability
(for an hour) to ankle plantar flexor muscles in Taekwondo
athletes. (1) Another study of spinal manipulation’s effect on
lower limb strength of healthy people displayed immediate boost
in muscle strength after just one session. The chiropractic
spinal manipulation treatment helps ease the pain and increase
the lower limb weakness. The effect is reported to be immediate
with just one spinal manipulation. For patients who have hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even bigger. (2) Patients at Most Chiropractic Clinic have noticed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Murfreesboro chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the
other have noticed relief with their Murfreesboro chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. 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 cared for
with spinal manipulation got better 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 Murfreesboro chiropractic
patients!
