The Spinal Connections: Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Offers Spinal Manipulation Which Shows Lower Limb Strength Improvement
It is 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 and imbalance are explored. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has seen such relief. The research adds to the discussion with such Auburn chiropractic patients that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Auburn chiropractic patients visit Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. with usually one pain issue and do not even note other issues until we find them together via the spinal exam. We are manytimes 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 manytimes 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 boost in muscle strength after just one treatment. The chiropractic spinal manipulation treatment helps relieve 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 bigger. (2) Patients at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. have enjoyed just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Auburn chiropractic patients with limb imbalances in whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the other have noticed relief with their Auburn chiropractic spinal manipulation, too. They may realize they have it or do not realize it until we complete the exam together. Once found, 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 seen 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 Auburn chiropractic patients!
