The Spinal Connections: Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Delivers 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 published articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness in addition to imbalance are investigated. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research adds to the discussion with such Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients seek care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic with typically 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 discover clues to the condition at hand, clues that frequently are sore 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 study stated that a single spinal manipulation enhanced 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 displayed 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 with hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic have enjoyed just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients with limb imbalances in whom one leg seems stronger than the other have noticed relief with their Fernandina Beach chiropractic spinal manipulation, also. They may know they have it or don’t realize it until we go through the exam together. Once discovered, 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 noted 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients!
