It’s all connected. The spine, the hips, the
knees, the legs, the feet, the toes. In newer published
articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief
of lower limb pain and weakness as
well as imbalance are investigated.
Moses Chiropractic has noticed such relief. The research adds
to the discussion with such West Palm Beach chiropractic patients
that there’s hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients come
to Moses Chiropractic with usually one pain issue and do
not even note other issues until we uncover them
together during the spinal examination. 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 resolve with chiropractic treatment. Lower
limb weakness is often 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 paper 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 relieve the pain and increase
the lower limb weakness. The effect is reported to be immediate
with just one spinal manipulation. For patients with hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even bigger. (2) Patients at Moses Chiropractic have enjoyed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other West Palm Beach chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the
other have noticed relief with their West Palm Beach chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may know they have it
or don’t 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 got better compared to placebo
treatment. These strength improvements were recorded after just
one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization enhanced
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive outcomes for our West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients!
