The Spinal Connections: Rosenberg Wellness Center Offers 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 newer studies, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness and imbalance are investigated. Rosenberg Wellness Center has seen such relief. The research adds to the discussion with such New York City chiropractic patients that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
New York City chiropractic patients visit Rosenberg Wellness Center with typically one pain issue and do not even note other issues until we find them together during 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 often disregarded by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One report 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 paper of spinal manipulation’s effect on lower limb strength of healthy people displayed immediate boost 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 reported 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 Rosenberg Wellness Center have reported just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other New York City chiropractic patients with limb imbalances for whom one leg is seemingly stronger than the other have found relief with their New York City chiropractic spinal manipulation, also. They may realize they have it or don’t realize it until we go through 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 recorded 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 New York City chiropractic patients!
