It is 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 explored.
Novelli Wellness Center has noticed such relief. The research contributes
to the talk with such Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients
that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients visit Novelli Wellness Center with typically one pain issue and do
not even notice other issues until we find them
together via the spinal examination. We are manytimes
detectives together! The chiropractic examination can discover
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 unnoticed
by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One study
stated that a single spinal manipulation improved
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 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 have hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength
improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Novelli Wellness Center have noticed
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances for whom one leg seems stronger than the
other have noticed relief with their Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
spinal manipulation, too. They may know they have it
or don’t realize it until we go through the exam jointly.
Once discovered, limb strength imbalances of at
least 15% in hip flexion, extension, abduction or knee flexion treated
with spinal manipulation improved compared to placebo
treatment. These strength improvements were noted after just
one lumbar spine manipulation session. (3) Spinal mobilization enhanced
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive results for our Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
patients!
