The Spinal Connections: Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic 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 recent published articles, the connection between spinal manipulation and the relief of lower limb pain and weakness as well as imbalance are explored. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has seen such relief. The research adds to the talk with such Montreal chiropractic patients that there is hope for their condition.
LOWER LIMB STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT
Montreal chiropractic patients seek care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic with usually one pain issue and do not even notice other issues until we find them together during the spinal exam. 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 manytimes unnoticed by back and leg pain patients. Pain is the attention-getter. One study reported that a single spinal manipulation enhanced 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 showed immediate boost in muscle strength after just one treatment. 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 experience hip and knee weakness yet otherwise healthy, the strength improvement is even larger. (2) Patients at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic have noticed just such improvement!
LOWER LIMB IMBALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Other Montreal chiropractic patients with limb imbalances in whom one leg seems stronger than the other have noticed relief with their Montreal chiropractic spinal manipulation, too. They may realize they have it or do not realize it until we go through the exam together. Once discovered, limb strength imbalances of a minimum of 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 boosted hip flexor strength and performance in asymptomatic young adults. (4) These are positive outcomes for our Montreal chiropractic patients!
