It’s 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 investigated.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has noticed 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 Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc with usually one pain issue and don’t even notice other issues until we uncover them
together during the spinal exam. We are often
detectives together! The chiropractic examination can uncover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that frequently are sore
or weak and, thankfully, also calm with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is manytimes disregarded
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report
stated that a single spinal manipulation improved
muscle strength (for 30 minutes) 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 increase
in muscle strength after just one session. The chiropractic
spinal manipulation treatment helps ease the pain and improve
the lower limb weakness. The effect is found 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 Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc have reported
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances in whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the
other have found relief with their Fort Wayne chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may realize they have it
or do not realize it until we go through 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 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 Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients!
