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 as
well as imbalance are investigated.
Back And Neck Care Center has seen such relief. The research adds
to the talk with such Severna Park chiropractic patients
that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Severna Park chiropractic patients visit Back And Neck Care Center with typically one pain issue and do
not even note other issues until we uncover them
together during the spinal exam. We are often
detectives together! The chiropractic examination can discover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that often are sore
or weak and, thankfully, also calm with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is manytimes unnoticed
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report
stated that a single spinal manipulation enhanced
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 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 only one spinal manipulation. For patients who
experience hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Back And Neck Care Center have reported
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Severna Park chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg seems stronger than the
other have found relief with their Severna Park chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may know they have it
or do not realize it until we complete the exam jointly.
Once discovered, limb strength imbalances of a minimum of 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion cared for
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 Severna Park chiropractic
patients!
