The Spinal Connections: Most Chiropractic Clinic Delivers Spinal Manipulation Which Shows Lower Limb Strength Improvement
It’s all connected. The spine, the hips, the knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In recent studies, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness and imbalance are investigated. Most Chiropractic Clinic has noticed 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 visit Most Chiropractic Clinic with typically one pain issue and do not even notice other issues until we find them together during the spinal examination. We are often detectives together! The chiropractic exam can discover clues to the condition at hand, clues that often are sore 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 stated that a single spinal manipulation improved muscle strength (for 30 minutes) and corticospinal excitability (for 60 minutes) to ankle plantar flexor muscles in Taekwondo athletes. (1) Another paper of spinal manipulation’s effect on lower limb strength of healthy people displayed immediate increase 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 only 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 found relief with their Murfreesboro chiropractic spinal manipulation, also. They may know they have it or don’t realize it until we complete the exam together. Once found, limb strength imbalances of a minimum of 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion treated with spinal manipulation got better compared to placebo treatment. These strength improvements were seen 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 Murfreesboro chiropractic patients!
