The Spinal Connections: Pure Chiropractic Delivers Spinal Manipulation Which Shows Lower Limb Strength Improvement
It is all connected. The spine, the hips, the knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In new published articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness as well as imbalance are explored. Pure Chiropractic has noticed such relief. The research contributes to the talk with such Concord, NC chiropractic patients that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Concord, NC chiropractic patients visit Pure Chiropractic with typically one pain issue and do not even note other issues until we uncover them together via the spinal examination. We are often detectives together! The chiropractic examination 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 disregarded by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report reported 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 study of spinal manipulation’s effect on lower limb strength of healthy people displayed immediate boost in muscle strength after just one treatment. The chiropractic spinal manipulation treatment helps ease the pain and increase the lower limb weakness. The effect is found to be immediate with just one spinal manipulation. For patients with hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Pure Chiropractic have reported just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Concord, NC chiropractic patients with limb imbalances for whom one leg seems stronger than the other have noticed relief with their Concord, NC chiropractic spinal manipulation, also. They may know they have it or do not realize it until we go through the exam together. Once discovered, 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 Concord, NC chiropractic patients!
