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 and imbalance are investigated.
Wilson Family Chiropractic has noticed such relief. The research adds
to the discussion with such Millville chiropractic patients
that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Millville chiropractic patients visit Wilson Family Chiropractic with usually one pain issue and don’t even notice other issues until we uncover them
together via the spinal exam. We are manytimes
detectives together! The chiropractic examination can discover
clues to the condition at hand, clues that frequently are painful
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 improved
muscle strength (for a half hour) 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 boost
in muscle strength after just one treatment. The chiropractic
spinal manipulation treatment helps ease the pain and improve
the lower limb weakness. The effect is reported 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 Wilson Family Chiropractic have reported
just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Millville chiropractic patients with limb
imbalances in whom one leg seems stronger than the
other have found relief with their Millville chiropractic
spinal manipulation, also. They may know they have it
or do not realize it until we complete the exam jointly.
Once found, limb strength imbalances of a minimum of 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 improved
hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are
positive outcomes for our Millville chiropractic
patients!
