The Spinal Connections: Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Offers 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 as well as imbalance are investigated. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research contributes to the talk with such Fort Wayne chiropractic patients that there is 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 uncover them together during the spinal examination. We are often detectives together! The chiropractic exam can uncover clues to the condition at hand, clues that often are painful or weak and, thankfully, also calm with chiropractic treatment. Lower limb weakness is often disregarded 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 displayed immediate increase in muscle strength after just one session. 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 Aaron Chiropractic Clinic have reported 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 noticed relief with their Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation, too. They may realize they have it or do not realize it until we complete the exam jointly. Once found, limb strength imbalances of at least 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 boosted hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are positive outcomes for our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients!
