It is all connected. The spine, the hips, the
knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In recent published
articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief
of lower limb pain and weakness as
well as imbalance are investigated.
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research adds
to the discussion with such Fort Wayne chiropractic patients
that there’s hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients visit Aaron Chiropractic Clinic with typically one pain issue and don’t even note other issues until we find them
together via 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 manytimes overlooked
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report
reported that a single spinal manipulation improved
muscle strength (for a half hour) 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 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 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 larger. (2) Patients at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic have noticed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the
other have found relief with their Fort Wayne chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may know they have it
or don’t realize it until we complete the exam jointly.
Once discovered, 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 noted after just
one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization boosted
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive results for our Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients!
